i look on my market place 4gbX1 ddr3, but pc12800U

If one stick is a lower frequency 

Both will run at the speed of the slowest stick 

As for cas latency , different cas latency can work 

But I would recommend looking for a stick with the same cas latency just to be safe

12800U means it's unbuffered non ecc 

Ecc : error checking and that's present usually on servers 

Buffer : a long story

I’ve never heard of ecc being used on a wintel laptop so they’re both probably U anyway.  The only laptop I ever saw that has ecc in it was an old Solaris monstrosity from he 90’s

They are both ddr3 ? 

Or is one ddr3l? 

Different voltages ( ddr3 being 1.5 and ddr3l being 1.35 ) should in theory work 

But I can't guarantee it
