The question says it all.


ddr3l is ddr3 memory but has much lower voltages, (eg.1.35v & 1.25v)


The new 3rd gen intel core processors(ivybridge) support ddr3l.


lower voltages mean less heat and will increase the life of your module.



ddr3l is usuall $5-$10 more than ddr3 :) 

Also the lower the operating voltage, (1.5v, 1.35v, 1.25v) the faster the memory can theoretically operate because the transition from a zero to a one state requires less voltage shift. It takes less time to go from zero to 1.25 v than it does to go from zero to 1.5v. So the memory cell comes ready sooner.
