Use the same specs as the RAM installed.

Another good way to make sure that you purchase the correct RAM is to locate your model Here Macsales.com is a reputable company who tests and gaurantees all of their products for Macs. Several members of this forum including myself have had tremendous success using them. They also have good installation guides to help with the RAM and hard drive upgrades.
