HP Recommended
Product: Zbook 15 G2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to upgrade my Zbook which has a 8gb RAM unit and i bought a Crucial 8Gb SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600mhz  (CT102464BF160B)

In the  HP manual it says:

"Support for DDR3L 1600-MHz PC3-12800 dual channel memory"

 But i read somewhere that you should have the same GB but also that it is preferred to have the same brand. 

Can it cause a problem/ will it work correctly if i add the 2nd 8 GB Ram of a different brand to my system?

 

*edit

both have a CAS latency of CL11

and does anybody have experience with https://www.memtest.org/
