Sorry if you've had this question asked many times before, but I havn't been able to find a definitive answer of my question..

I'm tempted to buy another 8GB of RAM but I'm not sure which speed my current stick is capable of running.. I have tried unplugging it from the motherboard but there is no sticker on either side of it.. How can I find out what speed I should buy? All I know is that the brand is Hyperx Fury (a black one)

I checked in CMD with a command I found on youtube - it said that my RAM was running at 1333 speed (I found out that's the 'default' speed set by the motherboard? don't hang me up on it)

I have downloaded CPU-Z and took this screenshot (http://i.imgur.com/FeNK9wn.png), it says that the part number is: "KHX186610D3/8G" - would that indicate that my speed is 1866 and its DDR3?

If the speed of my 'old' RAM actually is 1866, would I be able to buy this block of RAM? (http://i.imgur.com/qc2KOgR.png - HX318C10F/8) - I assume the color doesn't make any difference with this brand? 😛

Thank you very much for your time!
