Black BD1G533MD10 Diamond 1GB DDR2-533MHz UDIMM 2Rx8 CL4 Memory

Product Description

The Black BD1G533MD10 is a single 1GB memory module designed for systems that utilize DDR2 Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) technology. Operating at a speed of 533MHz (PC2-4200), this module is suitable for upgrading or expanding the memory capacity of compatible desktop computers and entry-level workstations. The UDIMM form factor is standard for consumer-grade PCs and does not include the buffering or error correction found in RDIMMs or ECC modules, making it a cost-effective solution for general computing tasks. The module's configuration is 2Rx8, indicating it is dual-ranked with eight memory chips per rank. Dual-rank modules can sometimes offer a performance advantage over single-rank modules by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks in an interleaved fashion, potentially improving efficiency. The CL4 CAS Latency signifies that it takes 4 clock cycles for the memory to respond to a column address request, which is a relatively low latency for DDR2 memory, contributing to its responsiveness. This 1GB DDR2-533MHz UDIMM is ideal for basic computing needs such as web browsing, word processing, and light multitasking. It is important to ensure that the target system's motherboard and chipset support DDR2 memory at this speed and capacity. While it offers a straightforward upgrade path for older systems, it is not designed for high-performance computing or server applications that require higher capacities, ECC support, or faster memory technologies.
