This 256 MB Non-ECC Unbuffered SODIMM targets legacy notebook upgrades and compact mobile workstations, delivering straightforward plug-and-play compatibility and energy-efficient operation for portable systems. Its aggressive Column Access Strobe latency of 2 combined with a dual-rank configuration minimizes memory access delays and improves data throughput, ensuring responsive performance under daily mobile workloads.
1. SoDIMM form factor ensures a compact, drop-in upgrade for space-constrained notebooks, enabling effortless memory expansion without chassis clearance issues.
2. 256 MB capacity provides sufficient headroom for basic productivity tasks and lightweight operating systems, keeping aging laptops usable in dedicated kiosk or thin-client roles.
3. Non-ECC operation eliminates unnecessary power and logic overhead, extending battery runtime and reducing heat output in energy-sensitive mobile environments.
4. Unbuffered signal architecture minimizes electrical loading on the memory bus, which helps maintain stable signal integrity inside thermally cramped notebook enclosures.
5. CL2 low latency tightens data access timing, improving snappiness in everyday notebook workloads such as web browsing and document editing, where many small random accesses dominate.
Designed for the notebook platform, the Micron MT8LSDT3264HY-13ED2 SODIMM is engineered to solve the real-world challenges mobile professionals and upgraders face every day. The CL2 low latency directly translates to snappier application response when you are juggling large spreadsheets on a mobile workstation or editing high-resolution photos in a coffee shop—every millisecond saved keeps your creative flow uninterrupted. The dual-rank organization means the memory controller can interleave accesses and extract more bandwidth, so your thin-and-light laptop handles simultaneous video calls, cloud sync, and dozens of browser tabs without the sluggish swapping that kills productivity. As an unbuffered, non-ECC module, it strips away the extra power and signaling overhead of server-class registers, preserving precious battery life and extending your work session on a single charge. Its 144-pin SODIMM form factor guarantees a physical drop-in upgrade for a vast range of ultraportable and small-form-factor notebooks, turning a frustratingly slow system into a responsive companion in minutes. This is not just a specification sheet—it is the power to stay efficient, unplugged, and fully compatible with your mobile reality.
This is a notebook memory module, identified by the 144-pin SoDIMM form factor, unbuffered non-ECC signalling and dual‑rank organization. Although the listed 256 MB capacity is a legacy density, the following capacity planning guidelines address modern notebook scenarios.
Laptop Upgrade
For aging laptops originally fitted with minimal memory, replace the single 256 MB module with a higher‑capacity SoDIMM (e.g., 4 GB or 8 GB if the chipset permits). In dual‑slot systems, a matched pair of equal unbuffered modules doubles bandwidth and delivers smoother multitasking. Always verify the motherboard’s maximum supported capacity per slot before purchasing.
Mobile Workstation
Professional workloads like CAD, 4K video editing or local virtual machines demand 32 GB to 64 GB total memory. Populate both SoDIMM slots with identical high‑density non‑ECC modules running in dual‑channel mode. Check the CPU’s maximum memory support and opt for JEDEC‑compliant speeds to ensure stability under sustained load.
Ultrabook Power Saving
Modern ultrabooks benefit from low‑voltage DDR4L or LPDDR4x/LPDDR5 memory, which significantly extends battery runtime through reduced power consumption. Choose a single high‑capacity module (16 GB or 32 GB) to leave one slot empty for future upgrades while maintaining lightweight multi‑tasking efficiency. This configuration balances energy efficiency with adequate headroom for office productivity and streaming.
Rigorously tested, compatible with Dell Latitude C640, ThinkPad T23, HP Omnibook 6100.
Q: Can I mix this MT8LSDT3264HY-13ED2 with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is not recommended. This 144-pin SDRAM SoDIMM requires identical speed and organization. Mismatched modules often cause system instability or failure to boot in legacy notebooks.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: It suits older notebooks using 144-pin PC133/PC100 SoDIMM slots, typically Intel 440BX/815EM or VIA chipsets. Verify your laptop supports 256MB, non-ECC, unbuffered SDRAM and dual-rank modules.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Most legacy notebooks have a single accessible slot. Install this 256MB SoDIMM directly; if two slots exist, populate with the largest capacity module first, though performance difference is negligible.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. This JEDEC-standard SDRAM SoDIMM runs at fixed CL2 latency and rated speed only. It does not support overclocking, XMP, or SPD tuning common in modern memory.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module includes a one-year warranty. It is built to strict RoHS standards with very low failure rates under normal use, ensuring reliable operation in compatible vintage laptops.
