Probably, memory is sold in kits and only guaranteed to work as that kit. Always check that the memory you buy is qualified by either the motherboard/computer maker or the memory company to insure compatibility.

And when it comes to memory, you should provide the full model numbers on the motherboard, CPU and memory -- all of them matter in reading the QVL (qualified vendor list -- things that have actually been tested in the real world).
