    I've just seen one from Crucial using their automated tool but it looks like the voltage is different 1.35 as opposed to the 1.5 my current 4GB is this really important?

    Also, seen this model online

    https://www.skhynix.com/products.view.do?vseq=969&cseq=75

    and it is from the same company HYNIX but again has diffeernt voltage specs, does anybody know if it will play well with my current module (specs in post 1).

    I'm getting a little headache with worrying about RAM matching, I'm starting to think I should just buy two RAM modules of the same type but was hoping to Ave some money lol

    Ok after reading on Google looks like Ram mixing can be a big hassle....I'm going to seek out identical ram modules for an easier life..
