Which memory to get ? sodimm

Off amazon

option 1 Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (CMSX8GX3M1A1600C10)

option 2 Patriot for Ultrabook 8GB DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 CL11 SODIMM Memory PSD38G1600L2S

I dont have anything that supports that 1600 but supports 8gb, i figure ill try to future proof a little with faster memory, its only a few dollar difference..

Couldn't find timing for the patriot, newegg reports cas latency @11.
The corsair is 10-10-10-27 latency

I'll take the one that has the lowest voltage.

Here's what I can find about them, the Patriot doesn't have much detail

Corsair 10-10-10-27 1.5V‎
Patriot 11-?-?-? 1.35V (probably 11-11-11-28 or 30 or something like that?)

I'd lean towards getting the lower voltage RAM as well (if your laptop supports it) because I don't think there'll be a big difference between the two performance wise (unless maybe if you are using the integrated graphics on an AMD APU).

get the crucial 1.35v, I find the memory slots on laptops produce a lot of heat. They have the 1600mhz version.

I agree with the last post - I'd recommend thisone:

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single...ial+8GB+sodimm

it is dual voltage, so can operate at either 1.5 or 1.35.
