Memory Information

[George_Bud]

What does CL ( number ) means on a laptop memory ? I have seen CL11, CL9, CL15. What does all of this mean, and can someone point me to a good source of information.

The lower that number is the faster the memory clock speeds are around 9 is the max as of now, you will feel a light bump in shifting files & running cpu intense stuff , but it's not that much of a bump, but you'll feel it being a bit smoother/a bit flowy i guess , but most of these ram sticks are sold as gaming/premium with a bumped up retail price, the value depends on your  view on things,  do you actually need it etc. things like that!

CL is also known CAS Latency.
