Product Description

A small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). SODIMMs get their name because they are smaller and thinner than regular DIMMs. The gold pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a SODIMM are not connected. 200-pin SODIMMs are used to provide DDR and DDR2 SDRAM memory for notebook computers. 200-pin SODIMMs are available in PC2700 DDR SDRAM, PC3200 DDR SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM and DDR2 PC2-3200 SDRAM. To use DDR or DDR2 memory, your system motherboard must have 200-pin SODIMM slots and a DDR- or DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR or DDR2 SODIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM SODIMM socket. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor tool.)

Customer Reviews

Exactly as I'd expect
This item works exactly as I'd expect; I purchased it for a Dell Inspiron 1000 which accepts a single RAM module in addition to the built-in 256 MB. That machine only seems to support PC2100 memory (266MHz), but this ended up being cheaper than any PC2100 I could find and is backward-compatible, so it works fine. I've done no serious "burn-in" testing, but have been running the laptop on it for several weeks without difficulty.

All in all, recommended as a working no-frills inexpensive piece of memory for laptops that support it.
