Mushkin Enhanced 996647 128MB DDR3 1333 Dual Channel Kit laptop RAM

What this kit adds to a laptop

This Mushkin Enhanced 996647 kit supplies 128MB of DDR3 laptop memory in a dual-channel pair. Each 204-pin SO-DIMM runs at 1333 MHz with CL9 timing at 1.50V. The unbuffered, non-ECC modules are programmed for maximum compatibility with existing memory. Builders upgrading an older notebook that still uses DDR3 SO-DIMM slots can use this kit to fill two channels.

How it fits into a build

The two modules install side-by-side in the laptop's 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets to enable dual-channel operation. No heat spreader is fitted, so the modules sit flush in tight chassis spaces. The kit requires a platform that accepts DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) at 1.50V and supports unbuffered, non-ECC memory. It frees the system from single-channel bandwidth limits when both slots are populated.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Operating at the standard 1.50V, the modules draw only the power the DDR3 specification defines for this speed. With no heat spreader or active cooling, they run silently and add negligible thermal load to the laptop's existing cooling solution. The low 128MB capacity per module keeps individual chip density modest, contributing to stable operation under normal workloads.
