System-specific DDR3 upgrade

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB unbuffered DDR3 DIMMs rated at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and 1.5 V operation. Computer Memory Solutions validates each module for the Gateway DX4885-UR21 desktop so the memory installs without configuration changes.

DDR3 platform limits

The DDR3 interface tops out at 1600 MHz on this platform and the board provides four slots with a 32 GB ceiling. Builders who need more than 32 GB total or who want ECC error correction cannot use this kit.

240-pin DDR3 1600 CL11 spec

The decisive specification is the 240-pin DDR3 1600 CL11 1.5 V profile; only systems that accept this exact speed, latency and voltage will run the modules at their rated settings.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8GB 2×4GB kit or a single 8GB stick for my Gateway DX4885-UR21?

The kit supplies two 4GB modules, filling two of the four DIMM slots and leaving room to reach the 32GB maximum later.

What does the PC3-12800 rating mean once the memory is installed in the Gateway DX desktop?

It confirms the modules run at 1600MHz with CL11 timing at 1.5V, the native speed the DX4885-UR21 expects for DDR3.

Will the 240-pin DDR3 interface limit bandwidth on this system?

The 240-pin DDR3 connection matches the board’s four sockets and caps transfer rate at the rated 1600MHz.
