Samsung 8GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module

The Samsung M378B1G73QH0-CK0 is an 8GB DDR3 SDRAM module designed for desktop computers that rely on DDR3 architecture. By adding this memory to a compatible motherboard you give the system a larger workspace, which can translate into smoother multitasking and quicker response when multiple programs are open.

Built on a 240-pin unbuffered DIMM layout, the module runs at a clock speed of 1600 MHz and delivers a PC3-12800 data transfer rate. It follows JEDEC standards and operates at the standard 1.5-volt level, so it integrates cleanly with boards that expect conventional DDR3 specifications.

This upgrade makes sense for users who feel limited by the base memory that shipped with their desktop. A student who needs to run virtual classrooms alongside research tabs, a professional who juggles spreadsheets and web meetings, or a hobbyist editing photos will all notice the headroom that an extra 8 GB provides. Because the module is unbuffered, it suits most consumer and small-office towers where simple plug-and-play installation is preferred.

Installation involves powering down the system, seating the module in an open DDR3 slot, and letting the BIOS recognize the added capacity on the next boot. There is no configuration required on most modern boards, which makes this a practical way to extend the useful life of an aging desktop without replacing the entire platform.
