Hi guys,

I'm looking at upgrading some laptop RAM, and when checking what RAM I currently have (to buy the same stuff), I noticed there is an 'f' marked at the end of the RAM type. I haven't seen this before, so I had a quick google and apparently this 'f' means the RAM is fully buffered, it also advised that fully buffered RAM is not the same socket type as non-buffered RAM. There was a reply to this information from a guy who said the above was incorrect?

Can anyone confirm what this 'f' means, and if I could just buy some normal PC3-8500 (without 'f') and if this will fit in?

Cheers much :)
 
Can I also use this thread to ask if I would notice any performance differences between different 'module configurations' - should I be bothered about different configurations?

i.e.

Type DRAM
Technology DDR3 SDRAM
Form Factor SO DIMM 204-pin
Module Height (inch) 1.75
Memory Speed 1066 MHz ( PC3-8500 )
Latency Timings CL7
Data Integrity Check Non-ECC
RAM Features Unbuffered
=> Module Configuration 512 x 64
Supply Voltage 1.5 V
