Crucial 8 GB DDR3L SO-DIMM Kit

This Crucial kit provides 8 GB of DDR3L memory in two 4 GB modules. It is built for notebooks and compact desktop systems that use 204-pin SO-DIMM slots. The memory runs at 1600 MHz with a CAS latency of 11. It suits users upgrading older laptops or small-form-factor PCs.

DDR3L 1600 MHz Practical Limits

The modules operate at the PC3-12800 standard with a peak transfer rate defined by that specification. Performance is capped by the DDR3L architecture and the 1600 MHz clock speed. Systems limited to lower memory frequencies will downclock the kit automatically. Non-ECC operation means no error correction for critical workloads.

Straightforward SO-DIMM Installation

Installation requires inserting each 204-pin module into a compatible slot until the side clips lock. The low-profile SO-DIMM form factor fits tight chassis spaces common in compact desktops. Issues arise when a system expects 1.5 V DDR3 instead of 1.35 V DDR3L, or when the BIOS limits total memory below 8 GB.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 GB kit or a single 4 GB module?

The kit supplies two 4 GB modules for a total of 8 GB, enabling dual-channel operation on platforms that support it.

What does the 1600 MHz rating mean once the memory is installed?

The modules run at 1600 MHz with CL11 latency, delivering a peak bandwidth of PC3-12800 when the system memory controller operates at that speed.

What does the 204-pin SO-DIMM interface determine in practice?

The 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor fits notebooks and compact desktops with DDR3 or DDR3L slots; it is keyed differently from other memory types.
