TEAM ELITE 16GB 2666MHz Laptop RAM

The TEAM ELITE 16GB 2666MHz series has released an all-new DDR4 SO-DIMM product which is compliant with JEDEC international standard. With only 1.2V of working voltage, it can save electricity use by 20% compared to its last generation. Therefore, the heat generated from the product itself can also be reduced and maintain the surrounding temperature of the system. It is 100% compatible with INTEL's latest X99 & Skylake chipset. With the selected high-quality IC chips and strict testing standard, it is the perfect choice for laptop users, who seek for excellent quality, optimal performance, stability, and compatibility.

TEAM ELITE 16GB 2666MHz Laptop RAM Review

It’s been a good, long run, but the end may be sight for the supremacy of DDR4 RAM, the kind of system memory that powers most consumer PCs these days. That said, we’re certainly not holding back on our PC builds and upgrades to wait for the impending DDR5. (The only thing that might make us do that this year is the dire cost of PC components.) Every new generation of DDR memory, historically, has started off with some stumbles and setbacks. DDR4, meanwhile, has a seven-year track record and endured a long, long shakeout in the consumer-PC market. That means it will have a leg up on both compatibility and developmental maturity for some time to come. But that long familiarity we have with DDR4 doesn’t make memory upgrades today any less complex. How do you go about buying the best memory configuration for your PC? Whether you are building a PC new or upgrading the one you have, the answers come easily—but only once you know the right questions to ask. Even browsing the internet can push memory usage over 50% on such systems, leaving little capacity for any remaining programs, such as PC games or photo editors. And while modern web browsers typically lighten the load when other programs demand more memory capacity, that process can make the machine feel sluggish. That leads to our general capacity guidelines. We recommend 16GB of main system memory for most users who want to multitask without incurring the above-mentioned slowdown, and 32GB for heavy multi-taskers or those running memory-hogging programs such as video editors. Beyond that is overkill for most folks. Programs that run optimally with 64GB or more are generally designed for experienced or professional users who already know how much they need—or at least, who know that they need all they can get.
