is it possible or will it botch up the memory/ram on it? do i have to buy 2 of the same gb (4x4) sticks? or just models and its bus speed?

I think along the CAS latelency and speed matches i think you would be fine

If they're running at the same speed, the chances of a problem occurring are minimal

 

so you should be good

It's best to have all of the ram be the exact same ram. That being said, you shouldnt have too much of an issue, as long as the timings and speed are the same.

Motherboard manufacturers still tend to strongly recommend the same kit.

make sure both ram sets runs at the same VOLTAGE this is the most important...then check for similar specs ram kits and it should in theory be fine.
