Computer Memory Solutions 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1066MHz CL7 SODIMM A35

DDR3 1066 MHz SODIMM kit for Toshiba Satellite A505

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB unbuffered DDR3 SODIMM modules rated at 1066 MHz with CL7 timing. It is built for Toshiba Satellite A505 series laptops including the A505-S6017 and A505-S6020 models. The 204-pin form factor fits the memory slots on these specific systems.

DDR3 1066 MHz speed ceiling and CL7 timing

The DDR3 1066 standard caps transfer rates at PC3-8500 bandwidth, so the modules cannot run faster than this specification. CL7 latency is fixed at 7-7-7 timings and the 1.5 V operating voltage is set by the DDR3 standard. The laptop chipset controls the final memory speed and may downclock the kit if the system bus runs slower.

204-pin SODIMM installation in a laptop chassis

Installation requires opening the memory compartment on the underside of the laptop and inserting each module at an angle until the side clips lock. The 204-pin keying prevents backward insertion, but forcing a module can damage the socket. Buyers who need more than 8 GB or a different memory generation cannot use this kit.
