Hi, I am looking to add 8GB ram to my laptop which already have 8GB ram, totally 16GB (after upgrade).

 

I checked the spec of my existing ram and the model is:

 

M471A1K43BB1-CRC - https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/module/M471A1K43BB1-CRC/

 

However, the above seems to be EOL and I've found this instead:

 

M471A1K43CB1-CRC https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/module/M471A1K43CB1-CRC/

 

Would there be any issues if I buy the CB1 ones? I am running on Ubuntu and mainly doing programming if that helps.

It should be fine. They are both same speed and same volts, shouldn't be an issue :)
