Notebook Memory Options

We have had numerous readers e-mail us asking what memory they should use in their DIY whitebox notebook and we started looking into different brands of memory. Kingston, Corsair, KTI, PQI, Adata and quickly realized that there was no real difference between performance SO-DIMM's and value series SO-DIMMS!

This article was one of, it not the most, enjoyable memory article that Legit Reviews has written in some time. This is because we got results that were totally unexpected. On the desktop side it is common knowledge of the enthusiast community that running low latency memory will provide throughput advantages. Thus leading to better benchmark scores and better frame rates in games. Now that we have tested a number of different SO-DIMM memory modules it shows that memory timings play little, if any, factory in improving benchmark scores or gameplay frames per second (FPS).

same... I benchmarked KTI's and PQI's SO-DIMM's with similar results to Kingstons.

Notebooks are so limited by other factors (HD speed, bus speed, and processor throttling) that RAM speed is not a serous limition,, however quanity is.
Buy as much ram as it can hold.
