Computer Memory Solutions 8GB DDR3L 1600 CL11 SODIMM Latitude 15 5000 E5550 memory upgrade

8GB DDR3L SODIMM for Latitude 15 5000

This 8GB DDR3L SODIMM is built for the Latitude 15 5000 series with 5th Gen Intel Core processors. It adds a single 8GB module to one of the two available slots. The 204-pin form factor fits the laptop's memory socket directly. It targets owners of the E5550 model who need more memory for daily workloads.

Capacity headroom and limits

The kit provides 8GB in a single stick, leaving the second slot free for another module. The platform supports a maximum of 16GB across both sockets, so total capacity can be doubled. Running this stick alone suits typical office tasks and light multitasking. Heavier workloads or virtual machines will benefit from filling the second slot to reach the 16GB ceiling.

DDR3L 1600 interface constraints

The module operates at DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) with CL11 timing at 1.35V. It is unbuffered, non-ECC and uses a 2Rx8 organisation. The DDR3L standard tops out at this speed and voltage, so no higher frequency or lower latency is possible on this platform. Builders needing faster memory or ECC support must choose a different system.
