See my sig, I mixed two different types of G-Skilll RAM. I just made sure they were both good brands so I didn't run into any troubles. It's working fine for me, only downfall is not being able to get my fsb quite as high, but it's close. Note that since you are using the 32bit version of Vista you will only be able to see ~3GB in Windows.

You are really kinda limiting yourself from that store, they really don't have much for selection. IMO it would be better to get the G-Skill 'HZ' memory so you would know that it is equal or better than what you already have so there would be little performance loss. Your memory is only going to run as fast as the slowest DIMM, so you don't want to get something worse than you have now, especially if you are overclocking or concerned about your RAM timings.

But if you have to choose from there I would get the OCZ Platinum.
