Crucial CT25664BF160B 2GB DDR3L-1600
Operating at 1.35V with DDR3L 1600 MT/s speeds, this 2GB module provides a low-power upgrade for aging systems requiring SODIMM memory. Its unbuffered, 204-pin design and CL11 latency offer straightforward compatibility for basic hardware refreshes. This stick is best for users needing to revive an old netbook or thin client with minimal cost, not for any performance-oriented or modern computing tasks.
