It doesn't always have to be high end to be interesting. Laptops nowadays are powered by so powerful processors that the bottleneck of the system is to get the data fed towards and from the processor. Upgrading your laptop with a Solid State Drive is one of the best upgrades you can ever give it. If however this option might be out of your budget and you still want to use them programs that eat up all of your memory resources, a RAM upgrade might be in order. Today we review G.SKILL's high end 8GB F3 1600C9 SO-DIMM kit.

In typical G.SKILL style, this kit comes in a blister type packaging. Protecting the SO-DIMMS and allowing the buyer to have a snoop on the specifications and looks of the included SO-DIMMS.

 

 

 

The SK kits stand out from the regular SO-DIMMS you will find inside your favorite notebook. These SO-DIMMS are covered with a nice shiny black heat spreader for that extra pro touch and maximum heat dissipation. Let's be honest, this tiny heat spreader really makes a dull SO-DIMM look good. Now if they keep your laptop cool that's another thing.

 

 

 

You can find the SK DDR3 SO-DIMM in two different flavours at the G.SKILL website. Either in a single DIMM version  (4GB x 1) or the dual channel kit (4GB x 2), that we tested.
