Best DDR 3 Memory for Laptop?

BillMan2002 · Mar 1, 2014

What is the best DDR 3 Memory I can buy for my laptop. Something better than DDR 3 yet? I don't think so.

I now have: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V •

Thanks

What's your laptop model?

Well, there is more to consider than just DDR3. There are memory speeds and timings which are more important. But to make sure you computer actually supports those speeds, you need to provide the laptop model

Does that really make that much of a difference? I know this laptop handles unsupported ram really well.

Even if my computer doesn't support it, I would like it to be faster than the computer. So if I upgrade, I can put it in the new laptop

Look for this RAM, it's 1600MHz (PC3-12800) and 1.35v with CL9 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmsx8gx3m2b1600c9

But there really is no point in it. Your laptop at most supports 1600 and not many laptops can support 2133. So if you put it in its downclocking itself so you are wasting performance.

I understand your point, but at least it isn't the Ram bottle-necking the laptop at all. It would be running at its full potential speed. Also, when I upgrade, I can keep the Ram and slap it in a new system and not waste cash on ram next time around.

Still though, in a laptop, the RAM will almost never bottleneck the system, and I'm certain unless you spend a few grand on a laptop they wont support 2133MT/S

What is the difference between CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 Vs CMSX16GX3M2B1600C10
I see the A is about $50 cheaper, so was wondering.

Ahmadjon · Mar 5, 2014

1.5v vs 1.65v or 1.35v i think!

Can you post the links?
