    Does anyone know if "CL3" is 144-Pin? I've been noticing a lot of auctions just list CL3 and not the pin count. Everything else in the description matches to what I'm looking for my laptop(pc133 sodimm SDRAM), but it often says CL3 instead of a pin count.

    CL3 means CAS Latency of 3, it has nothing to do with the number of pins. This basically indicates the performance of the memory (CL2 being faster than CL3)
    As long as it's DDR and not DDR2 (assuming that's what you need), and it's SODIMM, it'll be the right pin count.

    Hi, if your looking for PC133 sdram don't buy anything that says DDR.
    You want SDRAM PC133. SoDimm come in many pincounts so be sure to get 144 if thats what is in your notebook. You can always ask the seller for more info if your unsure........

    Ah yes, my apologies, you want SDRAM and not DDR.
