I am planning to buy another RAM for my laptop but I don't know what RAM to buy. I know that the RAM that I should buy should be similar to the one I have now, but does the brand matter? My current RAM is:

4GB ddr3 1333 SODIMM CL9
605140-2927
RoHS [15]
Transcend C E

Can I buy another RAM with the same specs but different in brand lets say Apacer or Samsung instead of Transcend??

And another important question: ******what specs in my current RAM should I be looking out for in buying for another RAM. Just to be sure

Sorry not a pro at this :)

If you have a single 4GB stick, you could buy any 4GB 1333 stick and be ok, I stick with GSkill.

Any 4gb ddr3? Should I not consider anything else? Because I heard RAMs that doesnt mix causes BSOD? Buying in bundles are hard on the pocket :) )
