DDR3 SDRAM
204-pin SO-DIMMs (DDR3 SDRAM) have a single notch closer to the center than on 200-pin SO-DIMMs. 260-pin SO-DIMMs (DDR4 SDRAM), 69.6 mm (2.74 inches) wide and 30 mm (1.2 inches) high, making them 2 mm (0.079 inches) wider than DDR3 SO-DIMMs, with a single notch after pin 144.

What is the difference between DIMM and SO DIMM?

A Registered DIMM is a memory module designed for network servers and high end workstations. A SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is a memory module with a smaller outline and thickness than standard DIMM modules and designed primarily for notebook computers.

How do I know if RAM is compatible with my laptop?

The easiest way to determine compatibility

  1. The Crucial® System Scanner is a downloadable tool that makes finding compatibility memory effortless.
  2. The Crucial Advisor™ is a tool that provides a list of compatible upgrades for your system after you’ve provided information on your system’s manufacturer, make, and model.

What does PC2 6400 mean?

DDR2 PC2-6400 (commonly referred to as DDR2-800) memory is DDR2 designed for use in systems with a 400MHz front-side bus (providing an 800MT/s data transfer rate). The “6400” refers to the module’s bandwidth (the maximum amount of data it can transfer each second), which is 6400MB/s, or 6.4GB/s.

WHAT IS SO DIMM socket?

A small outline dual inline memory module (SO DIMM) socket can enable reliable connection to standard memory modules. SO DIMM sockets are designed for the latest DDR4, as well as previous versions DDR3, DDR2, DDR, and SDRAM memory modules.

Can I use DDR3 RAM in DDR4 slot?

A motherboard with DDR4 slots cannot use DDR3, and you can’t put DDR4 into a DDR3 slot. DDR4 operates at a lower voltage than DDR3. DDR4 normally runs at 1.2 volts, down from DDR3’s 1.5V.

How much RAM my laptop can support?

Once you know you can upgrade RAM on your laptop, find out how much of extra RAM it can take. Most of the latest laptop models should support 16GB of RAM, however, if are using a high-end gaming laptop, it may accommodate 32GB of RAM.

Will a DDR3 SODIMM fit in a DDR2 or DDR3 socket?

A DDR3 SODIMM will not fit into DDR2 or DDR memory sockets. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor tool.)

What is a 204-pin SODIMM?

Features: In short, 204-pin small outline dual inline memory modules (SODIMMs) are the form factor used to provide DDR3 memory modules for notebook computers and other small form factor computing platforms. 204-pin SODIMMs are currently available in PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066MHz) and PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) speeds.

What is the difference between a SODIMM and a regular DIMM?

(Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor tool.) SODIMMs are smaller and thinner than regular DIMMs, and the 204-pin SODIMM PCBs are always ~2.6 inches long and are usually around 1.18 inches high (though the heights can vary slightly).
