The new DDR3-1066 modules feature enhanced performance, reduced power consumption and produce less heat compared to equivalent DDR2 modules, and are available now in 1Gb and 2Gb densities at the Crucial website.

Crucial PC3-8500 SODIMM modules support moM modules support module bandwidths up to 10.6 Gb/s with a data rate of 1,600 MT/s at a respective clock frequency of 800MHz – effectively doubling the data rate of DDR2 800MHz memory.
