Corsair Dual Channel RAM
My PC currently has only 1GB of RAM and I would like to upgrade to 2GBs. From what I can tell and from what CPU-z is reporting, this is the RAM that I have in the system http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...2b6370d4ea6bd2. I should buy the same model, corret? Does anyone know of any cheaper prices for this RAM?

How many empty RAM slots does your motherboard have left? If you have 1GB, is it 2 sticks of 512MB or is it 1 stick of 1GB? The link you provided shows 2x512MB so make sure you can fit those 2 additional sticks.
In terms of price, etc...RAM doesn't have to really match in terms of brand but as long as they have the same specs. So if you can find a cheaper brand of RAM because it's not in your budget to get these, go ahead.

I guess I should have stated that I have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe Motherboard. I'm using two slots at the moment (2 sticks of 512MB in Dual Channel mode) with two empty slots.

you don't need to get the same brand, just make sure that all sticks will run at the same speeds and settings. I got 2x512 of ocz and 2x512 kingston (both value ram) and they work great in dual channel.
