Try this link to give you an idea.
There is a blue button half way down the right hand side with scan my computer on it.
It will tell you what you have and what you use max.
Obviously when you know, you can either go with the Crucial which is good memory, or just get the same type from another manufacturer.

Best RAM I've used is Corsair TwinX Pro XLL.
Any Corsair is good, Crucial is good RAM.
Mushkin is v.good.
OCZ.
If it some obscure make that no-ones heard of, or unbranded, then its not going to be that clever.
Either way, as long as it works it should be okay.
Better RAM will let you bring the timings down and overclock it easier, it will also work at higher voltages without blowing.
Your not going to be worrying about that on that motherboard, so any suitable memory from a reputable supplier will be okay.
