I am currently using

Kingston KVR1066D3N7/2GB
Kingston KVR1066D3N7/4GB

which are PC3-8500

My motherboard is Gigabyte H55M-S2H (rev 1.0), Socket 1156
my CPU is Intel i3 @ 2.93Mhz

Can I get this as a replacement?
Amazon.com: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00: Computers & Accessories

1. Use RAM sticks of the same size and same speeds for (slightly) better performance.

2. Nehalem chipset will only support up to DDR3 1333 out of the box. Utilizing faster RAM will require explicit overclocking to attain higher speeds.

tl;dr: buy 2x4GB of DDR3 1333 value RAM and be done with it.
