Just WOW! The internet is becoming far more advanced with each passing day, and because of this simple, low memory tasks of that past are no more. Mostly everything requires lots of RAM, so if you only have 8GB of RAM you know the pain...So, after pulling my last hair out waiting for Google Chrome to load a webpage I decided to finally see if my PC was able to upgrade the RAM. Sho nuf!! I had 8GB installed and was expandable to 16GB so the decision was a no brainer. First of all, I couldn't believe how cheap RAM was...I was expecting to pay an arm and a leg for some reason...Anyway, if you have working fingers and are able to unscrew screws then you can do this, it's that simple! I managed my way inside my PC and popped out the two child's play 4GB RAM and stuck in the two brand new 8GB sticks giving me 16 total GB. My PC absolutely FLIES now!! I'm so mad I didn't do this earlier. It was so easy, so cheap, and the instant performance is unreal. Once you get the RAM installed in their slot, there is nothing else to do the PC software instantly recognizes the new RAM and takes over from there. I can't recommend doing RAM upgrade, especially for us lowly 8GB RAM plebes. Just do it, do it! Upgrade *if possible* and thank me later! Review: High quality, great price, easy upgrade - Just what the doctor ordered!!! Super easy yo install, no issues, just remove the existing RAM memory and install the new ( making sure they snapped into place ) I ordered this memory to upgrade the 12GB of RAM memory in my DELL XPS 8700 desktop computer. It was a simple upgrade that made the computer "come to life" it's MUCH faster and runs smoother than ever. High-quality memory from a name you can trust, at a reasonable price, from a place that has it all. Highly recommended. ## Features - 240-pin DIMM - DDR3-1600 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008KSHQBU | | Additional Features | nv: Company Program^Crucial | Configuration^1024Meg x 64 | DDR Timings^CL=11 | DIMM Type^Unbuffered | Density^8GB | Error Checking^NON-ECC | Megabytes^8192 | Memory Type^DDR3 PC3-12800 | Package^240-pin DIMM | Platform Category^DDR3 | Replenishment Flag^N | Speed^DDR3-1600 | Voltage^1.35V | VolumeDiscountBucket^HIGH | | Best Sellers Rank | #300 in Computer Memory | | Brand | Crucial | | Built-In Media | RAM memory | | Column Address Strobe Latency | 11 | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Computer Memory Size | 8 GB | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,416 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1600 MHz | | Form Factor | DIMM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00649528762238 | | Item Weight | 13.61 g | | Manufacturer | Crucial Technology | | Memory Form Factor | UDIMM | | Memory Generation | DDR3L | | Memory Speed | 1600 MHz | | Mfr Part Number | CT102464BD160B | | Model Name | Crucial DDR3L 1600 MT/s UDIMM Memory | | Model Number | CT102464BD160B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 240 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR3 | | RAM Size | 8 GB | | Special Feature | nv: Company Program^Crucial | Configuration^1024Meg x 64 | DDR Timings^CL=11 | DIMM Type^Unbuffered | Density^8GB | Error Checking^NON-ECC | Megabytes^8192 | Memory Type^DDR3 PC3-12800 | Package^240-pin DIMM | Platform Category^DDR3 | Replenishment Flag^N | Speed^DDR3-1600 | Voltage^1.35V | VolumeDiscountBucket^HIGH Special Feature nv: Company Program^Crucial | Configuration^1024Meg x 64 | DDR Timings^CL=11 | DIMM Type^Unbuffered | Density^8GB | Error Checking^NON-ECC | Megabytes^8192 | Memory Type^DDR3 PC3-12800 | Package^240-pin DIMM | Platform Category^DDR3 | Replenishment Flag^N | Speed^DDR3-1600 | Voltage^1.35V | VolumeDiscountBucket^HIGH See more | | UPC | 649528762238 | | Voltage | 1.35 volts | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crucial - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Computer Memory Size:** 8 GB - **Memory Speed:** 1600 MHz - **RAM Memory Technology:** DDR3 ## Images ![8GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800, - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KdXwO2WRL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work in a dell xps 8100? has 4 slots, to make 16gb?** A: Thank you for contacting us and for your question. I have looked up your system and found that part number CT51264BD160B does show as compatible with the Dell XPS 8100. You are also correct that you can install 4 of these sticks to get a total of 16GB. This will also max out your PC so you will not be able to install any more memory beyond that point. **Q: Is this compatible with dell optiplex 3020 mini tower? crucial's part number: ct8961357 for ddr3 pc3-12800!** A: Not sure, I know it is with my Optiplex 780. You could go here - https://www.micron.com/ and under 'Contact' ask if it will work. **Q: will this memory work on acer E5-473-555y?** A: Thank you for contacting us today. No, this RAM is not compatible with your system. Your system requires SODIMM memory, not UDIMMs. The part number you need instead is CT51264BF160B. **Q: Can this ram work on my dell opitplex 390 slim** A: Yes it will work. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, Instant, EASY Performance Upgrade Anybody Can Do! *by P***. on August 2, 2023* I have never witnessed the awesome performance upgrade that adding additional RAM to a PC can provide.

I bought two of these and upgraded to a total of 24 GB RAM. I was uncertain if the mismatch would cause a problem, but it hasn't. I installed the upgrade 6 months ago and had no problems. To be clear, my Mobo has 4 slots. The first two slots each had a 4GB stick. I added 2 of these 8 GB sticks to the second pair of slots. I have had no issues running a Linux OS. Performance is greatly improved. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crucial 8GB Single DDR3L 1600 MT/s (PC3L-12800) Unbuffered UDIMM Memory CT102464BD160B - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E500B/AM, Black - Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket (3.5” Internal Drive Bay to 2.5", Easy Installation) Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/21557250-8gb-240-pin-dimm-ddr3-pc3-12800](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/21557250-8gb-240-pin-dimm-ddr3-pc3-12800) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
