So I currently have 4 GBs of RAM in my laptop and I'm thinking of getting another stick to 1. run in dual channel and 2. have a usable amount of ram. So my question is, if I have a DDR3, 1600mhz PC3-12800 RAM, could I buy RAM that's DDR3 1600mhz, PC3L-12800S Ram?

I would get a whole 2x4gb kit of the ddr3 laptop 1600mhz ram, as sometimes the 2 seprate kits dont play nice.

 

I could use some help with this!

They're also usually not that much more expensive. Usually only ~50% more than a single stick.
