Is it DDR3L? Has to be low voltage and you will see a decline in memory speed of the DDR3 as it will be running at 1.2V instead of the DDR3L of the 1.35. standard DDR3 Sodimm will not work and itel has warned it will possibly cook the skylake chipset if you try it. Bottom line is its risky to even try the DDR3L on whether or not it will work, DDR3 is not even going to make it through post and risk damage.
All the Corsair Sodimm kits I just looked at are NOT compatible, they are all 1.5V
You can get away with the DDR3 in a desktop environment if it will handle being undervolted. In the laptops however you cant undervolt it, there are ZERO settings in the BIOS for it.
I have 64GB of 2800Mhz PC4 22400 aariving wednesday. Ill post up in the thread already up about it if it works.
One of the biggest things about the entire skylake platform is decreased power consumption. Any performance improvement is negligible and even that is all dependant on who you ask. Some say the 4720 outperforms the 6700 by 1.5% and others reverse that. Either way, doesnt matter. One other thing is the 32GB memory limitation has been bumped again and is now double that. Again that doesnt mean much to most users and even I had to double think that one but went with the 64GB kit in the end as two things I use this machine for more than anything else is video and batch photo processing that have all been confirmed run much faster with the extra RAM. Not quite double but not for from it. Hmm, compile is 30 minutes or 17? Ill take the 17.
