I have notebook Lenovo Y50-70 with Samsung 8GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 1.35V pre-installed ram in one slot.

I would like to upgrade the ram by installing another single 8GB in the other ram slot.
However, I might not easily find Samsung one with the same specs to be installed.

So, I would like to know the other brands that show compatibility with the pre-installed Samsung one.

Thanks

Run Speccy and see the exact RAM number and contact Lenovo . For me 8GB RAM is enough even for a desktop

you can never be sure with the compatability when mixing ram. however if you cant find the same ram stick, you must buy one with the same specs. laptop rarely offer the same adjustability in bios as desktop models do.!

Many thanks for everyone help.

However, I would like to know if the ram chip manufacturer matters or not assuming the same specs as the installed one's.
For example, will it be more compatible, if its chip is manufactured by Samsung or not ?

I am sorry for my limited info, but I am eager to quite understand this point.

For dual channel memory , it s better to be the same RAM . Otherwise , i cant see reason to not mix defferent brands with the same specs - 8GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 1.35V and the same Latency time , unless Samsung play unfair .
