    Mate, probably not going to be easily possible to do this.. Why do you want OEM RAM anyways? Just get some Corsair or Gskill RAM... You'll have better speeds and capacity that way..

    I want to use the ram already inside of the laptop. That's why I want to match the new one as much as possible.

    So match all the specs you can...frequency/timing/voltage etc.
