Patriot DDR3 SODIMMS Certified by Intel for XMP

Patriot Memory announced their XMP certified SODIMMS. Patriot's DDR3 SODIMM is the latest in the family of memory which includes Intel's Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP). XMP is a performance specification for DDR3 memory SPD settings that act as an integrated "plug and play" overclocking tool. The new Extreme Memory Profile options allow the end user to select extreme or ultimate performance through a framework of predefined and validated optimizations of individual settings without the hassle of manually adjusting each parameter, so the timings, voltage, and speed boot automatically for maximum performance.

It seems maybe a little unnecessary to have something like these SODIMMS for a laptop. But It's nice that even laptop memory get more attention and makes it possible to build and customize a nice laptop rig if desired.

There are i7 laptops out there, so I wouldn't say this is unnecessary.
