| Lets breakdown the different elements in the modules description: |
| '''PC3L Vs PC3''' |
| '''PC3''' is standard voltage (1.50V) where '''PC3L''' is low voltage (1.35V) - A system which requires PC3L cannot support PC3 RAM. PC3L RAM will work in a PC3 based system as it will run at the standard voltage and will inter-operate with PC3 RAM within the system. |
| '''12800 MB/s (DDR3-1600) Vs 10600 MB/s (DDR3-1333)''' |
| The Letter S just means its a SO-DIMM Vs a standard DIMM |
| This is the speed of the RAM Clearly DDR3-1600 is able to run faster than DDR-1333. But thats only the modules ability not what the system is running its memory bus speed at. Your MacBook was designed for PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM, its best to stick with what Apple expects. You can use the faster RAM, but, you really won’t see a sizable difference. So don’t spend extra for the few nano seconds of improvement. |
| Consider going with more than 8 GB of RAM I would go with 16 GB if you want better performance working on large items or running multiple apps concurrently. |
| Instead focus on your drive If you haven’t already done it going to a SSHD hybrid drive or better yet a good high speed SSD. Both of these will offer more improvement. |
