I do not recommend the KVR for your equipment, much less to mix them, on Kingston KCP3L if I recommend them.

HI.
Here I leave the characteristics of the RAM:
Speed: 1600MHz (PC3-12800)
Technology: DDR3 SDRAM
Form Factor: SODIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module)
Module Dimensions: 67.6mm x 30mm (LxH)
Data Integrity: Non-ECC

This is the reference of one of your modules:

You can run this software on your computer, you can also get the same equivalent model, the same chipset, in your case would be same processor to have an i5 this model would be worth as an example::http://eu.crucial.com/eur/en/systemscanner

Thank you for your kind reply in such a short time.
I have checked the links you provided for Kingston RAM and it shows the model: Kingston KCP3L16SD8/8 8GB DDR3L PC3-12800 1600MHz Memory 1.35v CL11 SODIMM
I could not find the above model where I live, however, a similar model with the same specifications is available: Kingston KVR16LS11/8 8GB DDR3L PC3-12800 1600MHz Memory 1.35v CL11 SODIMM
Can I use KVR16LS11/8 instead of KCP3L16SD8/8 ? If not, does it matter if I upgared with a RAM from another manufacturer?
Thank you
