Matching Modules for Dual-Channel

My laptop has 1 4gig memory module. I used Speccy to find the manufacturer part number and I have found other 4 gig SODIMMS for sale on ebay with the same part number.

If the part numbers match but the manufacturing dates are off by a couple of years does this matter when trying to match memory to get dual-channel?

I figure the newer parts may have different revision numbers but wouldn't they perform the same with the same timings as the older part with the same number?

Thanks.

Yes, it should work but sometimes it can lead to compatibility issues. As long as the memory specs are the same you should be fine. If you could let me know your laptop model number and the part number of the memory, I can double check it for you.
