Like the first guy said, which model is it? Usually, the best thing to do is open up the RAM slot and look at what RAM is currently in it. Then, look for that exact make and model. Having matching sticks not only guarantees that it will work, but also guarantees that it will work in dual-channel mode.

Here is the exact same RAM on Amazon (US): link although there are no brand new ones available there are 4 used ones for around $30 each which is a good price. Also, buying used RAM is almost as good as buying brand new RAM since they all have a lifetime warranty anyway. If anything goes wrong with it, you simply return it to Nanya and they send you a new one. No receipt or original box needed. The best part, you save a bunch of money buying used. Or, you can find this item at a different retailer.

If i buy any other company Ram like corsair vengence it wont work efficently huh? since one slot is using nanya technologies!!! sorry for my bad english!!!!!!!!!

As long as it is PC3-12800, 1,600 MT/s (not MHz, but most idiot sites like Amazon list it as MHz link) then you should be fine. The only thing that might happen is that it might not work in dual-channel mode. But that is a very slim chance. Technically you could use any DDR3 laptop memory as long as it is 1,600 MT/s or lower. But it is ideal to use the same speed and even more ideal to use the same exact brand and model RAM. Before the Intel "core" series CPUs, you just needed RAM that were the same speed no matter the brand or timings and they would work in dual channel. Newer RAM, for whatever reason, sometimes fails to work in dual channel mode even if the sticks are identical in make, model and speed. It is believed that this is due to the memory controller moving to the CPU die. This is why RAM manufacturers have started making "kits" of two or more sticks of RAM which they have actually tested and verified to work in dual channel mode. [/quotemsg]

whats the advantage of ram working in dual channel?
