hi all,
i want to upgrade my laptop memory p34G v2 to 16go
my laptop have already 1x8GB DDR3L 1600 SO-DIMMTranscend TS1GSK64W6H

so i have 2 options:
1option--> buy 1x8 go cl11-11-11-28 transcend and it will cost me 81$ in my country
2option--> buy 2x8 go corsair/crucial cl9-9-9-24 and it will cost 170$

my questions: is there a difference between brands in terms of quality?. and the difference between timing of this 2 options worth the second buy ?
-sorry for my english-

Depends.what are you going to use it for?

assuming gaming:

go for one which matches your current ram in latency and frequency

1. for gaming 8gb is enough

2. for gaming you wont see a performance increase from c111 to c9 or from 1333 to 2400

3.Transcend and Corsair are both good ones, though i have seen more high end corsair rams in the shelves

4. higher frequency and latency of ram is needed only for rendering and videoediting
