So I currently have 1x4 GB of 1333 RAM, and have one slot remaining. If I want to upgrade my RAM I can just throw in another 1333 4GB stick, right? Any offers going on right now or recommendations?

Are you using 64bit OS? 32bit OS can support 3.x GB of memory only.

Buy back the same specs, ie DDR3 1333 CL9 (and should be 1.5V), but usually preferably the same brand as well to minimize potential compatibility problems.

I heard this model phased out liao, but should still be able to find at SLS, right?

I don't know if SLS still has stock. You can possibly get them 2nd hand. RAM sticks have lifetime warranty, and Kingston is a highly reputatable brand like Corsair, so the only hassle is with going down to the distro for RMA, in the event of faulty RAM (eg checked using Memtest).

BTW, check the voltage of the stick that you have.
