I'm not great with hardware, this is my first time upgrading RAM.
My notebook is Asus VivoBook X556UR. It seems to have 1 slot soldered (4GB in my case) and 1 free slot.
From what I gathered the soldered RAM is MTA8ATF51264HZ-2G1 with 2133 MHz and CL15.
The CPU is i5-6200U and it seems that max supported RAM speed is 2133 MHz.
In my local store the only 8GB choices are:
But because of CL, it would be better to choose Patriot because the latency will be lower and close to the soldered RAM latency.
I've read that mixing RAM from 2 different companies and with different latencies is not a great idea but I don't have much choice here.
