2GB DDR3 SO-DIMM for Laptop Upgrade

This 2GB G.SKILL module uses the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor to add memory capacity to compatible laptops. It runs at DDR3 1600 with a CAS latency of CL9 and 9-9-9-28 timings at 1.50V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design suits standard consumer notebooks.

DDR3 1600 Bandwidth and Latency Limits

The PC3 12800 rating provides up to 12.8GBps bandwidth per channel for period-correct operating systems and applications. CL9 timing helps responsiveness within the constraints of the DDR3 1600 standard. The single 2GB capacity limits multitasking headroom for modern workloads.

Validated Build Without Heat Spreader

Each module undergoes 100% burn-in validation to confirm stability and quality before shipment. The bare green PCB has no heat spreader, keeping the profile slim for tight laptop slots. The 204-pin edge connector ensures direct installation in standard DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets.

Questions about this item

Is the 2GB DDR3-1600 CL9 module the right capacity for a single-slot laptop upgrade?

Yes, this 2GB stick fits one 204-pin SO-DIMM slot and runs at DDR3 1600 with CL9 9-9-9-28 timing at 1.50V.

What does the 1600MHz rating deliver in actual throughput?

The PC3-12800 rating means up to 12.8GB/s bandwidth per channel when the memory controller operates at the rated 1600MHz data rate.

Does the 204-pin SO-DIMM interface limit speed on older DDR3 platforms?

The module is an unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 SO-DIMM; it will run at the highest common speed the laptop's memory controller supports, up to 1600MHz.
