Capacity and speed

This is an 8 GB DDR3 module rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11. It suits owners of older desktop platforms that require DDR3 memory for maintenance or modest capacity increases.

Build and pin layout

The stick uses a standard 240-pin DIMM form factor with Samsung 512Mx8 chips. Installation follows the usual desktop memory slot procedure and requires no special tools or mounting hardware.

Upgrade context

It replaces a smaller or slower DDR3 module in systems that still run on this memory generation. The jump is worthwhile when the board supports 1600 MT/s operation and the extra 8 GB removes a capacity bottleneck.
