OWC 4GB DDR3 1066 PC3-8500 CL7 2Rx8 204-pin 1.5V SODIMM for Dell Inspiron 14z 1470

Targeted DDR3 SODIMM for Dell 1470

This 4GB DDR3 1066 PC3-8500 CL7 module is built specifically for the Dell Inspiron 14z 1470. It fits the 204-pin SODIMM slot and runs at the standard 1.5V voltage. The single stick adds 4GB of non-ECC unbuffered memory to the laptop. Buyers who need ECC error correction or registered buffering cannot use this module.

JEDEC-standard sustained operation

The module meets JEDEC DDR3 1066 specifications with CL7 latency and 2Rx8 rank organisation. Under continuous workloads it maintains the rated 1066MHz data rate without requiring additional voltage or active cooling. The non-ECC design means single-bit errors are not corrected in hardware, so workloads that demand guaranteed data integrity should look elsewhere.

Straightforward laptop installation

Installation requires opening the memory compartment on the Inspiron 14z 1470 and seating the 204-pin SODIMM into the slot. No heat spreader is present, so the module fits thin chassis without clearance issues. The most common problem is inserting the stick at an angle or not pressing firmly until the retention clips click, which leaves the module unrecognised by the system.
