It is recommended that u use the same model due to the timings etc

Anyone knows the difference between the 1RX8 and the 2RX8?

Actually, you can just get any 4GB RAM stick for your upgrade. The computer will automatically downclock the RAM to match the speed of the slower RAM. You will only not get to run the RAMs in dual-channel mode at worst.

it is advisable to get the RAM from the original desktop manufacturer eg ASUS, ACER desktop cos it is propriety
though slightly more expensive
