The additional memory can be of any brand, as long as it supports the speeds your current RAM is running at. You can buy faster RAM with no problems, but it will also not gain you anything. The motherboard will use the fastest speed that is compatible with all the sticks.

Caveat: Sometimes there are incompatibilities, even with the same speed and timing sticks from different manufacturers, so the absolute safest bet is to buy the exact same memory (brand and model) as what you have. I don't follow this advice myself and have not been burned yet, but I have read about people having problems. Keep in mind that different models from the same manufacturer can have radically different types of memory chips in them.

I've never worried about matching brands. Just check for a list of ram the Mobo won't play with and buy something that isn't on the list.
