Looks good, you can easily pop the memory out and check it in seconds or you could just take the safe route and download Everest Home Edition from http://www.lavalys.com/ then use that to get the memory module info by loading the program and doing the following...
Click MOTHERBOARD ---> MEMORY ---> SPD
That should get the SPD data from your memory, it will tell you who manufacturered it, the memory timings currently set and also the optimum basic memory timings. Post back with the results bud and I will let you know what memory they supplied.
btw your machine is a bit of a beast
