Can I use PC3-8500 instead of PC3-10600?

Can I use PC3-8500 instead of PC3-10600?

I would not recommend trying this unless you’re comfortable with all the steps involved. An alternative is to use one 8 GB PC3-10600 module along with a 4 GB PC3-8500 module for a total of 12 GB, but there would probably be a speed penalty from having mismatched module sizes.

What speed is PC3 10600S?

DDR3 speeds

Friendly name Industry name Peak Transfer Rate
DDR3-800 PC3-6400 6400 MB/s
DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 8533 MB/s
DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 10667 MB/s
DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 12800 MB/s

Is PC3-10600 the same as DDR3?

Today’s DDR3-1333 has a peak bandwidth of 10666 MHz, which can be improperly rounded down and called PC3-10600, rounded up to be called PC3-10700 or stated without rounding as PC3-10666 depending on the manufacturer’s desires.

What PC3 8500?

PC3 = {acronym same as DDR3} theoretical bandwidth. 8500 = frequency JEDEC 8500/8 = 1063 theoretical bandwidth.

What is 12800s RAM?

Kingston Memory DDR3-1600 memory has a module classification of PC3-12800, which effectively means the peak data rate of the module is 12.8GB/sec (see table). That’s about a 17% improvement on memory bandwidth over DDR3-1333.

What is the difference between 8500/8 and 10600/8 MHz?

10600/8 = 1333MHz vs 8500/8 = 1066Mhz ; on a desktop the gain is 1~3% assuming the same CAS, bottom-line you will NOT feel any gain or loss from frequency differences. However, going from 2GB to 4GB will yield better performance and increased battery life. Thats good to hear..

How much RAM do I need for a 10600?

2 x1GB pc -10600 in my laptop now. The laptop has two RAM slots with up to 8GB total allowed. The most cost effective upgrade is probably gonna be 2x2GB DDR3 – 1066. 2x4GB would be better, but that will cost at least twice as much and so long as you don’t have a video card and do gaming on your laptop–you won’t really use more than 4GB total.

Can I put two different Rams in the same slot?

You are always able to put faster RAM of the same kind in the same slot. Whether it will support the faster speeds depends on the model. PC3-10600 is slightly faster than PC3-8500; but, you wouldn’t really notice the difference and I don’t think what you posted will work.

There is no difference. The common module name of DDR-1333 is PC3-10600 , because its peak transfer rate is 10666.666…

Can I use PC3 10600 instead of PC3 12800?

PC3-12800 works just fine as PC3-10600 speeds. Think of it as a car capable of going up to 120kmph on a 100kmph highway. It will work just fine. Regular DDR3 DIMMs are designed to work at 1.5 volt.

What is the difference between 10600 and 10600s?

If you had desktop memory the same RAM would say DDR3 10600. Crucial and other companies have a way of not listing the RAM speed with the “S’ because in the title of the RAM you are purchasing it says “SO-DIM’ but when you get your RAM it will have the “S” on it if you are buying for a laptop.
