I don't think either would work, as that laptop only officially supports "1.35V" RAM. (see the bottom row in your table). Refer to this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/Memory-upgrade-for-HP-Pavilion-G6-2005AX/td-p/3258033

Recommend a Crucial brand, 1.35V, that is at least as fast as your current RAM. Don't worry too much about the timings, but you can at least try to get something that matches or is lower than your current RAM.

8GB is currently the recommended total capacity for gaming, as most games still top out at 6GB with Windows, etc, running in the background. That could change though, so picking up a 8GB stick couldn't hurt.
