Memory Reccomendation for Acer TimelineX. G.Skill vs Corsair vs Samsung Vs Kingston.

[AcerTimeLineX]

What are your thoughts on how these specific laptop memory models below stand up against each other, which brand would you suggest? Reliability and stability is important, I don't want blue screens and freezes.

Also is PC3-10600 vs PC3-10666 just marketing lingo, or does PC3-10666 really improve speed compared to PC3-10600?

Also price is not a big factor, all the modules except for Samsung are around the same price, maybe 10 dollar difference. Samsung says RoHS compliant, not sure what that means!

Thanks for your opinions!

I have G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB and I really like them. However, mine is 1866 instead of 1333, but I would still recommend them.

Also, isn't it 240 pin? If not you might want to check compatibility with your motherboard.

G.skill all the way.

These are soDimms 204 pin for a laptop.

Get the same stuff I have, awesome timings and common speed:

Get two kits as it's cheaper than buying the same kit but with 8gb total.

He needs 204-pin for his laptop.

As for the RAM, all of them are pretty similar. Same speed, timing, and voltage. I would go for corsair or G. Skill.

Derp, I didn't realise
