Lenovo G500 8GB DDR3L SODIMM

This 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM is built specifically for the Lenovo Essential G500 laptop. It delivers a straightforward memory upgrade for owners of that model who need the maximum supported capacity in a single module. The kit contains one stick that fits the sole memory slot in the system.

DDR3L 1600MHz 1.35V limits

The module runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings at 1.35 volts, matching the DDR3L standard used by the G500. Because the laptop has only one SODIMM slot, total memory cannot exceed this 8 GB stick. Dual-channel operation is not possible on this platform.

204-pin unbuffered non-ECC

The 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC design is the single specification that determines fit. Only modules with this exact pin count, voltage and buffering type will work in the G500 socket.

Questions about this item

Is the single 8 GB module the only capacity option for the Lenovo Essential G500?

Yes, the system supports a maximum of 8 GB across one socket, so this 8 GB stick fills the slot completely.

Will the DDR3L 1600 MHz rating run at that speed once installed in the G500?

The module operates at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35 V, matching the notebook's memory controller specification.

Does the 204-pin SODIMM interface limit bandwidth compared to newer standards?

The 204-pin DDR3L interface delivers up to PC3L 12800 throughput, which is the peak bandwidth this platform can use.
