Frequently Asked Questions
Will this RAM work in my laptop?
This memory is compatible with laptops that use DDR4 SODIMM memory. If your laptop was bought within the last 4-5 years, there is a high chance it is compatible. Please check your laptop's manual or the manufacturer's website to confirm it supports DDR4 3200MHz memory.
Can I mix this with my old RAM?
This kit comes with two 16GB modules. For the best performance and stability, we recommend removing your old RAM and installing both new Crucial sticks. Mixing different brands or speeds can sometimes cause stability issues.
Is it hard to install RAM?
Not at all! For most laptops, it involves unscrewing the bottom panel and clipping the new sticks into place. It typically takes less than 10 minutes, and there are many video guides available online for specific laptop models.
What does CL22 mean?
CL22 refers to the CAS Latency, which is the delay time between the memory receiving a command and executing it. CL22 is the standard JEDEC specification for 3200MHz DDR4 memory, ensuring high compatibility across almost all brands of laptops.
