What's the difference between the 2 following Samsung RAMS:
M471B5173QH0-YK0 - http://
M471B5173DB0-YK0 - http://

Both seem to have the same specs, but why are they different? Because I already have 1 of them and I want to buy another to make it work with dual channel.. And can currently buy only the other one

With given information and what I could search around for, there is no given functional difference between the two sets, so I would say that it is safe to buy the other SODIMM and they should work together. They both have the same exact specs, CL 11, 1600Mhz, V1.35 and so on... Although I could not find the memory clock for both, if one is lower, the memory controller will down-clock the faster one to match.

The difference I could find was that the M471B5173QH0-YK0 was created on a "Q-die", which is an integrated circuit, and I assume the M471B5173DB0-YK0 was created on a "D-die" integrated circuit for the memory controller. I'm no memory expert, but that is what I could find.

In conclusion, I would say that it is safe to purchase...

The problem is that I can't buy the one that I currently have, I have the M471B5173QH0-YK0 and can only get hands on the M471B5173DB0-YK0. You think that the revision date can somehow affect dual channel performance?
