Is DDR3L same as SoDIMM?
Is DDR3L same as SoDIMM?
DDR3L is pin-compatible with DDR3. DDR3L is a dual voltage capable memory SoDIMM, which supports operation at both 1.5 V and 1.35 V.
Which is better SoDIMM or Sdram?
It’s the same! SDRam means So Dimm ram. It’s for new notebooks that take ddr4 ram ans it refers to its size that is smaller than the old ddr2 etc.
What is the difference between DDR3 Sdram and SoDIMM?
For a laptop you need a DDR3 SDRAM SoDIMM of the right speed and voltage. The DDR3 indicates the type of DRAM. SoDIMM indicates a small outline DIMM. (aka notebook form factor).
Can I use DDR3 RAM instead of DDR3L?
DDR3 runs at 1.5V, DDR3L will run at 1.35V or 1.5V and is therefore backwards compatible with DDR3. If you’re adding DDR3L to a system already containing DDR3 then it should work. If you’re adding DDR3 to a system already containing DDR3L then it may not work.
Can I use both DDR3 and DDR3L together?
DDR3 cannot run at the low voltage, however DDR3L can operate at both low and standard voltage. So at standard voltage, DDR3 and DDR3L can be used together.
Can I use SDRAM instead of SODIMM?
“SODIMM” is “Slim Outline Dual In-line Memory Module”. The difference between laptop memory and desktop memory is that the “Slim Outline” (SO) part is eliminated. So, if you’re getting laptop memory, it must be “SO-DIMM”, not “DIMM”. Ignore anything about “DRAM”, “SDRAM”, “SRAM”, etc.
Can I mix SODIMM and SDRAM?
Yes if the modules have the same number of pins and the same characteristics.
Can I install DDR3L RAM in a laptop which supports DDR3 RAM?
DDR3L modules are backwards compatible with DDR3 by design. Manufacturers use the same integrated circuits for DDR3 and DDR3L. The highest quality ICs are tested for operating at 1.35 volts and are branded as DDR3L if they run properly. Other than that, there’s no difference between them.
Can I use 1.5 V and 1.35 V RAM together?
Yes, you can use a low voltage RAM module, rated at 1.35 V or 1.25V with a normal RAM module rated at 1.5 V. The Low voltage RAMs (DDR3L) are backwards compatible so they would work with most of the CPU and Motherboard combinations.
What is DDR3 and DDR3L?
Power Compatibility DDR3l is a dual voltage memory that supports both 1.35 V and 1.5 V, while DDR3 supports only 1.5 V. Computers built with the intel 4th Generation will only support DDR3l RAM Cards. Computers different than that may use both DDR3l and DDR3, even in the same device.
What is difference between DDR3L and DDR3?
The main difference between DDR3 and DDR3L is in the voltage specification. Voltage specification for DDR3 is 1.5V, but the voltage for DDR3L is less, which is 1.35V. The letter L in DDR3L refers to low voltage standard. As DDR3L is a special type of DDR3 all other specifications except the voltage remains the same.
