Kingston Technology Corp. 4GB DDR4 3200MHz CL1.5 260pin SoDIMM laptop RAM

4GB DDR4 3200MHz SoDIMM

This 4GB DDR4 module runs at 3200MHz with a CAS latency of 1.5. It uses the 260-pin SoDIMM form factor built for laptop memory slots. The black PCB carries no LED lighting. It suits users adding a single stick to a compatible notebook.

Upgrading from lower-speed DDR4

Replacing slower DDR4 SODIMMs with this 3200MHz module lets the memory controller run at its rated data rate. The jump is worth it when the platform supports PC4-25600 and the existing stick is a bottleneck. Systems locked to lower JEDEC speeds will not see the full benefit.

Capacity and headroom

Four gigabytes handles light office work, web browsing and single-app workflows. Multitasking with several browser tabs or background services will exhaust the available space. Demanding creative suites, virtual machines or modern games need more capacity than this module provides.
