Considering specification of my existing Samsung RAM installed in laptop is "2Rx8 PC3-12800S-11-11-F3" (thats what written on installed RAM stick, I have physically checked it)

My motherboard is Intel Ivy Bridge (HM 76)

can i buy G Skill 4 GB DDR3 Ram (Configuration 4GB x1, CAS Latency 11-11-11-28, DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) - Is this RAM identical to the one I currently have, kindly let me know in-case I need to look into some other specifications before placing order- I have two memory slots (1 empty) in my motherboard

The timings listed are different. Also, even if you get an identical memory module, there is no guarantee that it will work- memory can be very finicky like that. It sometimes doesn't work even fi we can't find a good reason for it to not work when it comes to mixing kits.

I can't say for sure, but I think that they would most likely work together, but again, no guarantee. Here is a link to what I think is the same memory as it has all of the same specifications and is also from Samsung. If you want to buy it, it would at least give you a better chance of being compatible:

Just applied new RAM which i had ordered with my existing Samsung RAM, both are working in Dual mode (CPU-Z)

All others details checked are exactly the same Windows experience index up to 7.5 from 5.9 (RAM)

Hopefully the new RAM is welcomed by my laptop
