You can pretty much get whatever you want. Motherboards generally have a list of ram that is "compatible" with it and that is listed in the manual. However I have never really run into a problem with buying whatever is currently out for the generation of ram I need. Are you trying to add another stick of ram or are you replacing what you already have?
If you are adding in another stick, generally you want to add in the a stick that matches the one you currently have.

You really wouldn't see the difference. It's really that minimal. That is, if he is doing a replacement and not just throwing it in with what he currently has.

I'm adding another RAM not a downgrade.
