Dell 08T914 256MB DDR-333MHz UDIMM 2Rx8 CL2.5 Memory

Product Description

The Dell 08T914 is a 256MB DDR SDRAM module, specifically an Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM), designed for use in Dell servers and workstations. It operates at a clock speed of 333MHz, which corresponds to the PC2700 standard, offering a balance of performance and compatibility for older systems. The 2Rx8 configuration signifies a dual-rank module, meaning it has two independent sets of memory chips, which can improve performance in certain applications by allowing the memory controller to access data from different ranks simultaneously. This memory module features a CAS Latency (CL) of 2.5, indicating the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a read command. This timing is typical for DDR333 modules and contributes to its overall responsiveness. The UDIMM form factor is standard for most desktop and server memory, providing a direct connection to the motherboard's memory slots without the need for additional buffering, which is characteristic of Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). As a component from Dell, the 08T914 is intended to meet the specific compatibility and reliability standards required for Dell enterprise environments. While the capacity is modest by today's standards, it was suitable for specific configurations or as an upgrade for systems that utilized DDR memory. Its primary function is to provide the necessary RAM for the system's operating system and applications to run efficiently.
