Frequently Asked Questions
Is this DDR3-1600 memory compatible with my desktop system?
Yes, the Samsung 4GB DDR3-1600 UDIMM is compatible with any desktop or workstation motherboard that supports DDR3 memory at 1600MHz speeds. The 240-pin UDIMM form factor is the standard for consumer and professional desktop systems. Check your system's motherboard manual to confirm DDR3 support and available memory slots.
What is the difference between ECC and non-ECC memory?
Non-ECC memory, like this Samsung module, is designed for consumer and professional desktop systems where error correction is not critical. ECC memory includes error-correcting code for server and workstation environments requiring maximum data integrity. This non-ECC UDIMM is optimized for standard desktop performance and cost-effectiveness.
Can I upgrade my system with this 4GB DDR3-1600 module?
Absolutely. The Samsung M378B5173CB0-CK0 is an ideal upgrade for desktop and workstation systems running DDR3 memory. You can install it alongside existing DDR3 modules (they will run at the speed of the slowest module) or replace older memory. Ensure your system has available DIMM slots and supports DDR3-1600 speeds for optimal performance.
What is CL11 latency and why does it matter?
CL11 (CAS Latency 11) refers to the number of clock cycles required for the memory to access data. Lower latency values mean faster response times. The CL11 rating on this DDR3-1600 module provides a good balance between speed and performance, making it suitable for general computing, multitasking, and professional applications without excessive latency overhead.
