Compaq G72 notebook upgrade kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules built for Compaq G72 notebooks including the 217Ca, 250Us, A10Ed and A10Sa models. Each stick uses the 204-pin form factor and runs at 1333 MHz with CL7 timing at 1.5 V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original factory specification for these systems.

Two-module kit enables dual-channel

Supplying a matched pair lets the memory controller operate in dual-channel mode, which increases usable bandwidth over a single stick. The kit is validated for the listed G72 platforms so installation proceeds without configuration changes. No heat spreaders are included, keeping the modules low-profile for tight notebook chassis.

DDR3 1333 MHz speed rating

The modules are rated PC3-10600 at 1333 MHz with 7-7-7 latency. Systems based on the Intel GL40 chipset may limit the bus to 1066 MHz, and a 32-bit operating system will address only 4 GB regardless of installed capacity. Buyers needing higher frequencies or larger single modules should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the CL7 DDR3 SODIMM sticks need any periodic maintenance or replacement?

No, the 2Rx8 unbuffered modules have no moving parts and require no scheduled maintenance; they are rated for the life of the Compaq G72 notebook.

What is the first limit reached when the memory runs continuously at 1333 MHz?

The Intel GL40 chipset caps the bus at 1066 MHz, so sustained throughput is limited to PC3-8500 speeds rather than the module's PC3-10600 rating.

How much extra heat or power do the 1.5 V modules add during all-day use?

Each 4 GB stick draws standard DDR3 1.5 V power with no heat spreader, so thermal output matches ordinary SODIMM operation in the G72 chassis.
