Poojan's Tech Blog

I recently bought this laptop. It came with 4GB of DDR3L-1600 CAS-11 memory.

I also recently purchased a pair of 8GB OF DDR3L-1600 CAS-9 memory, figuring that this pair would allow for dual-channel acces and also that the CAS-9 would improve performance (not to mention that the extra memory in general would also help).

I followed the directions here: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/find-your-windows-experience-index-scores-in-windows-8-1/

And here are the benchmarks before I upgraded the memory:

… and here are the results after the memory upgrade:
