Crucial 8GB PC3-8500 DDR3 Notebook Memory Kit

2 x 4GB RAM Chips / 1066MHz / 204-pin / SODIMM / Unbuffered / CL = 7 / 1.5V
One of the more proven ways of optimizing your computer's performance is upgrading the Memory to the maximum. DDR3 memory is a RAM like chip and with more available RAM, your Processor has more leverage to manipulate Data efficiently. Seeking better performance? Adding Optional DDR3 memory is a first choice.

To use DDR3 memory, your system must have both a 204-pin SODIMM slot and a chipset that supports DDR3 memory. A DDR3 SODIMM will not fit into DDR2 or DDR memory sockets.

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). They consist of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed Circuit board (usually green). The number of memory components on a 204-pin SODIMM's printed circuit board (PCB) can vary, but the PCB will always have 102 pins on the front and the back both, for a total of 204 pins. The gold pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide the connection between the memory module and the memory socket.
