Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 2048MB per stick, the per-slot ceiling on most DDR2 notebooks
  • ✓ DDR2-667 PC2-5300 at CL5, the common spec for Core 2 Duo laptops
  • ✓ Unbuffered, non-ECC signal processing matches consumer notebook controllers
  • ✓ Standard 200-pin SODIMM form factor, no adapter or riser needed

Cons

  • ✗ Single module, so dual-channel needs a second matching stick purchased
  • ✗ 667MHz caps performance if your board supports DDR2-800 SODIMMs
  • ✗ No heatspreader, and DDR2 SODIMMs run warm in thin 2000s chassis
  • ✗ CL5 is looser than CL4 kits some enthusiasts hunt for
