I already have stock 4gb 1333 mhz DDR3 RAM installed. But I feel like I need 8GB, because it is always being 75 percent or more used, often more than 85.

The problem is, I can't find that exact same type to put in the second slot.

So my question is, which 4GB ram stick can I put inside?

I live in Europe, so I would like to order something from Europe or China, not USA.

EDIT: I use 64bit Windows 10 in my Compaq CQ2951EC Desktop which has the HP 2AE2 motherboard.

The magic of Google compelled me to search for "HP 2AE2" which revealed:

Memory upgrade information
Dual channel memory architecture
Two 240-pin DDR3 UDIMM sockets
Supports DDR3 UDIMMs
PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600 with Ivy Bridge processors)
Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit* systems
Supports up to 16 GB on 64-bit systems (with 8 GB UDIMMs)
*NOTE: 32-bit systems cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

If you have one 4GB memory module already in the first slot, make sure to buy exactly the same type of memory for the second slot.
