yea i went and bought another 512 kingston DDR ram today and when i tried to put it in my computer booted up and it said read memory letters (it actually said that in a womans voice

) when i took out both peices of ram one of them looked different. The one I have been using has little black things on both sides the ram while my new one only has them on 1 side. What the difference and what are the official names for them?

EDIT: If i am to use 2 sticks of RAM do they have to be identical in every aspect as far as Mhz and RAM size go?
