OWC 4GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 CL11 2Rx8 204-pin 1.5V Non-ECC SODIMM memory upgrade

System-specific DDR3 SODIMM upgrade

This single 4 GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 CL11 module is built for Dell Vostro 3360, 3460 and 3560 laptops. It targets owners of those models who need a straightforward capacity increase without changing voltage or form factor. The 204-pin unbuffered design matches the factory slot layout exactly.

Verify slot count and maximum supported capacity

Check how many SODIMM sockets your Vostro chassis exposes and confirm the board accepts a 2Rx8 1.5 V module at 1600 MT/s. The upgrade is JEDEC-standard and RoHS compliant, so it will not void the original warranty, but the system BIOS must recognise the density and rank configuration. Matching existing modules by speed and latency avoids timing mismatches.

Steady throughput under continuous multitasking

Rated CL11 at 1600 MT/s, the module sustains its specified bandwidth during extended workloads such as large document editing, browser sessions with many tabs or background compilation. Absence of a heat spreader means thermals rely on chassis airflow; in the target ultrabooks the stock cooling is sufficient for the 1.5 V operating point. Error correction is not present, so the part suits consumer workloads rather than mission-critical data integrity.
