In the ever-changing world of technology, any component more than five years old is usually in need of an update. At seven years old and counting, that's where DDR3 memory is at: laptops can only do so much with it. Since the introduction of DDR3 memory technology in 2007, processors have doubled in capability, SSDs have revolutionized throughput, and graphics cards have drastically increased frame rates, leaving memory as a limiting factor. With Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs, crush the DDR3 memory bottleneck and unlock a new standard of performance.
As a brand of Micron, one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, Crucial DDR4 memory represents the future of computer performance. From the original DDR technology to DDR4, we've engineered the memory technologies that have powered the world's computers for 35 years and counting. When you choose Crucial DDR4 memory, you're choosing memory that's backed by a limited lifetime warranty and designed for the world's leading systems.2 Don't settle for anything less.
1Product performance and efficiency improvements are noted as comparisons between DDR3 and DDR4 memory technology. As of May 2014, standard DDR3 memory achieved speeds of 1600 MT/s and operated at 1.5V, compared to DDR4-2133, which will operate at 1.2V. When voltage reductions and all other energy-saving DDR4 features are factored in, DDR4 modules are projected to consume up to 40% less power. As DDR4 technology matures, speeds and bandwidths are projected to respectively hit 3200 MT/s and 25.6 GB/s – twice what was possible on DDR3 technology.
2Limited lifetime warranty valid everywhere except Germany, where warranty is valid for ten years from date of purchase.
Upgrade the memory in your compatible system using the 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz SO-DIMM Memory Module from Crucial. This single memory module features a capacity of 8GB, a clock speed of 2400 MHz (PC4-19200), a 260-pin SO-DIMM form factor, operates using 1.2V, and has a CAS latency of 17. Additionally, this RAM is not buffered and does not support ECC technology. Adding more memory to your system will help boost its capabilities, including improving system performance and application responsiveness. Start-up times will be improved with fewer delays during routine operations, and more programs will be able to run simultaneously with easier switching between them. This memory is protected by a limited lifetime warranty.
