Currently running 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 on a 2.66 GHz i7

Want to upgrade to 8GB of RAM & my understanding is that I have 2 slots for ram therefore I must buy 8GB (4GBx2) to fill the slots...

I'm told I need to match the 1067 to the new RAM I purchase - can't find any 1067s on newegg

On amazon, I have these two options:

In this one, the product title ends in 1067 but that does not necessarily confirm that it is in fact 1067 MHz: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-CT2CP...=1347382580&sr=8-1&keywords=8gb+1067+mhz+ddr3

For this one, it is a 'parts quick brand' instead of a brand like kingston that I recognize: http://www.amazon.com/PC3-8500-1067...=1347382580&sr=8-2&keywords=8gb+1067+mhz+ddr3

What should I do?

1067 and 1066 are the same. It's just that one is rounded up and the other has the .6 removed from the end.
