What’s the difference between DDR3 and other types of memory and can I use them interchangeably?

No, DDR3 memory is not compatible or interchangeable with other types such as DDR5, DDR4, and so on. Each memory type uses different slot designs, voltages, and architectures, so your system must support the memory type specifically.

What’s the difference between DIMM and SO-DIMM memory?

DIMM and SO-DIMM represent two different physical sizes of memory. DIMM is the larger type used in standard desktop computers. SO-DIMM is the smaller type used in laptops, mini PCs, and compact systems. They are not interchangeable.

What does "Non-ECC" mean and do I need "ECC" memory instead?

Non-ECC (non-error correcting) memory is required for most laptops and desktops. ECC is typically only used in servers or workstations and is not interchangeable with Non-ECC memory. If your system doesn’t mention ECC support, you need Non-ECC.

What's the difference between DDR3 and DDR3L?

DDR3L is a low voltage version of DDR3 that runs at 1.35V instead of the standard 1.5V. Most systems that support 1.5V (DDR3) will also run DDR3L but at 1.5V. Some systems require 1.35V (DDR3L) only and will not boot with standard DDR3 1.5V memory.

Is this compatible with my system or computer?

Refer to your system's manual to confirm the supported memory type, capacity, form factor, and ECC support. If you're unsure, contact our support team, we're happy to help you find the exact memory your system needs!

These gave new Life to my Laptop

I had a computer that was slowly dying, it needed more memory. I easily installed this memory and it came back alive again and is now lighting fast. Thanks.

Brought my laptop back to life

My laptop was already 5 years + old and it was slowing down. I had 8 GB of memory and this would double the memory for my laptop. This has made the computer more capable of handling more applications/programs running simultaneously. This has easily allowed me to keep my laptop for a few more years. Install was simple and easy, my laptop has 4 screws you remove and then the memory snaps out and you replace it with the new memory.

Inexpensive way to give old slow laptop new life

I had a Dell E6430 laptop running on Windows 10, doing anything on it was slow. Replaced the 4gb ram with these. Replacing the RAM was easy and now all functions are fast, nice upgrade.

Works for a Dell Latitude E5530 upgrade to 8GB

Product appears to work correctly as intended. Very simple install into the empty RAM slot to upgrade my Dell Latitude E5530 running Windows 10 from the factory 4GB to 8GB of RAM. While I did not experience the performance boost I was hoping for, the product provides an inexpensive upgrade to extend the practical life of my laptop.

with the new ram it easily over clocks on one core at 3

Well luckily got my 16gb of ram ealier then projected popped them in with an ease then have been putting it through test. luckily with steam games have been running multiple games on a Dell Latitude e6330 I5 dual core 2.6 ghz running windows 10. with the new ram it easily over clocks on one core at 3.10 ghz. while boosting memory utilization. definitely a snappy improvement from just having a 4gb of ram. plus its back by a lifetime warranty so pretty confident in my purchase

What a way to extend the life of a laptop

My husband‘s laptop is old and it was getting ridiculously slow. We were ready to purchase a new one, and decided to just try this while figuring out specs for a new one. After installing this, he doesn’t even want to purchase a new one. It’s amazing how much faster the laptop is now.
