ATP AL56M72A8BKF8S 2GB DDR3-1066MHz RDIMM 1Rx4 CL7 Memory

Product Description

The ATP AL56M72A8BKF8S is a 2GB DDR3 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory module, designed for use in server and workstation platforms. This module leverages DDR3 technology, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency suitable for enterprise computing. As an RDIMM, it includes a register chip that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller. This feature is crucial for system stability, especially when populating memory slots with multiple modules, and is a standard requirement for most server-grade motherboards. This specific module operates at a frequency of 1066MHz, designated as PC3-8500. While lower than some other DDR3 speeds, 1066MHz is often a baseline requirement for many server chipsets and processors of the DDR3 era, ensuring broad compatibility. It features a relatively low CAS Latency (CL) of 7, which indicates the number of clock cycles required to access data after a command is issued. The module's organization is 1Rx4, meaning it is single-rank and uses x4 (4-bit wide) DRAM chips. Single-rank modules can sometimes be preferred for specific memory configurations or compatibility reasons. Equipped with ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capabilities, the AL56M72A8BKF8S is designed to detect and correct single-bit memory errors, a critical feature for maintaining system stability and data integrity in demanding server environments. This protection against memory errors helps prevent system crashes and data corruption, making it a reliable choice for mission-critical applications. The 2GB capacity is suitable for upgrading older systems or for specific configurations where memory requirements are less demanding.
