Dell Vostro 2520 memory kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 SODIMM modules built for the Dell Vostro 2520 notebook. Each stick runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.5 V and uses a 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC design. The dual-rank 2Rx8 organisation matches the factory specification for this system. Computer Memory Solutions guarantees compatibility with the listed model.

Builders upgrading a Vostro 2520

The kit suits owners who need to reach the notebook's 8 GB maximum across its two slots. Buyers whose laptop requires ECC, registered or lower-voltage modules cannot use this memory. Systems already populated with 8 GB have no free sockets for further expansion. The modules are not intended for desktop DIMM slots or other laptop families.

1600 MHz DDR3 speed rating

The decisive specification is the DDR3-12800 (1600 MHz) speed grade; the Vostro 2520 memory controller is validated for this frequency. Installing modules rated for a different DDR generation or speed will prevent the notebook from booting. Matching the 1600 MHz rating ensures the system runs at its designed memory bandwidth.

Questions about this item

Does the kit contain both 4 GB modules or do I need to order a second stick separately?

The package includes two 4 GB DDR3 SODIMM modules, giving 8 GB total with nothing else to buy.

Should I choose the 1600 MHz CL11 version or a faster speed grade for my Vostro 2520?

The Vostro 2520 supports DDR3 1600, so this CL11 kit matches the notebook's maximum rated speed.

Will the 12800 rating deliver its full bandwidth once installed in the laptop?

At 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and 1.5 V, the modules run at the platform's native DDR3 12800 data rate.
