QUOTE(dirsly @ Aug 12 2012, 11:07 PM) must buy both same type of ram to avoid ram throttling. or else u cant max out 1600mhz optimum speed. Kingston 4GB DDR3-12800 SODIMM RAM seems like is compatible with the default one la, seems like can be synthesis to same CAS Latency after comparing(but I still no buy la) That Corsair one must be two same RAM to synthesis to same CAS Latency...
