What’s the difference between DDR3 and other types of memory and can I use them interchangeably?

No, DDR3 memory is not compatible or interchangeable with other types such as DDR5, DDR4, and so on. Each memory type uses different slot designs, voltages, and architectures, so your system must support the memory type specifically.

What’s the difference between DIMM and SO-DIMM memory?

DIMM and SO-DIMM represent two different physical sizes of memory. DIMM is the larger type used in standard desktop computers. SO-DIMM is the smaller type used in laptops, mini PCs, and compact systems. They are not interchangeable.

What does "Non-ECC" mean and do I need "ECC" memory instead?

Non-ECC (non-error correcting) memory is required for most laptops and desktops. ECC is typically only used in servers or workstations and is not interchangeable with Non-ECC memory. If your system doesn’t mention ECC support, you need Non-ECC.

What's the difference between DDR3 and DDR3L?

DDR3L is a low voltage version of DDR3 that runs at 1.35V instead of the standard 1.5V. Most systems that support 1.5V (DDR3) will also run DDR3L but at 1.5V. Some systems require 1.35V (DDR3L) only and will not boot with standard DDR3 1.5V memory.

Is this compatible with my system or computer?

Refer to your system's manual to confirm the supported memory type, capacity, form factor, and ECC support. If you're unsure, contact our support team, we're happy to help you find the exact memory your system needs!
