Additional RAM?

[Simon_89]

Hi guys,

I have a machine I built in 2013 and it has been running spot on, recently I've noticed on task manager there isn't a lot of RAM free when my other half is using it for her planning.

I've currently got Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz installed, I'd like to upgrade this to 8GB as I think this should be sufficient.

Is it just a case of getting the same speed RAM and popping it in or do the RAM timings need to correspond?

Thanks,
Simon

If it makes any difference the motherboard is a Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77

The PC isn't used for gaming, I'd say the most intensive program used would be AutoCAD.
