All of you are idiots. It has to be the specific type that supports his motherboard. If he has DDR2 then he needs to buy DDR2 RAM. If he has DDR3 then he has to buy DDR3 RAM. The speeds can vary on RAM, and you want the best speed usually because, well, its faster. But that doesn't always mean that you need it, or that you can afford it. But if your like me and want the best thing that you can get, then get the highest speed possible for the best price. I got 8GB G.SKILL DDR3 Ripjaws X Series 2133MHz (<---- thats the speed!) RAM.

True story.
I really wish people wouldn't just make stuff up when they don't know the answer, desperate to get that extra +1 post count.
OP: You can open up your computer, take out a RAM module and post the specs. It usually says on a label what type of module it is (size, which DDR and speed). Post it here and we can get a good match, or a replacement.
