Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Patriot 8GB DDR3 1600MHz SODIMM Memory Stick - High Performance RAM Module with Low Voltage Consumption by Sabryna Wickings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Increasing frames on my old laptop

I have an old HP Beats laptop that is not designed for gaming. HP dedicated 1GB of the installed 8GB of RAM to video memory, and as you can imagine my already low frame rate drops to unacceptable levels when background processes are running. I inserted this RAM stick into the open slot, unlocking the dual-channel memory. Functionality that is really important on AMD-based systems like mine. This resulted in a 10+ increase in frame rate on light games my system can run like Skyrim and Dragon's Dogma. A few months ago I was considering scrapping my PC and buying a $300 system that will likely provide the same performance as I have now after the upgrade. Today I'm glad I invested a few bucks in this memory as it helped make my once slow old system fast.

Pros
  • Beautiful
