Yes, It should.

That one is just a faster bus. That is all.

With RAM it is typically a good idea to verify that the system you are using is compatible with the memory you purchase to install.  Typically it should not be a problem, however, there are motherboards that are NOT compatible with specific RAM configurations.

Can you tell us either which motherboard, or what the make and model of your system are?

I have the ram, the problem is, it beeps for like 8 times, no screen.
That is something completely different than what you asked...

Please see page 63 for beep code information on Lenovo Thinkcenter M58

8 beeps specifically indicates that you need to replace your system board...
Hi,

That model supports the following Data bus speed 1066.0 MHz.  Considering your PC's Bus is 1066, anything higher is a waste if you can get PC-8500.

Now, it's common to use a processor and memory with different FSB ratings depending on the cost of the components. Fast memory given the pin and type is the same will work just fine.

did you buy 1 stick or two.. Sometimes theyare paired.

I put the ram back and counted again.

according to the code, it is
Reseat the memory modules. If the error persists, replace
the memory modules one at a time until the failing module
is determined.

does it mean I need a new ram?
it may, or it may mean that the RAM that you have does not meet the spec required by your motherboard.
