0X5538 - Dell 1GB DDR2-400MHz PC2-3200 ECC Registered CL3 240-Pin DIMM Single Rank Memory Module

Description

The Dell 0X5538 is a 1GB Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory module designed for server and workstation platforms that utilize DDR2 memory technology. Operating at a frequency of 400MHz, this module provides a solid foundation for memory-intensive tasks. The RDIMM architecture incorporates registers that buffer address and command signals, which helps to reduce the electrical load on the memory controller, thereby improving system stability and allowing for greater memory configurations. This specific module is configured as 1Rx4, indicating a single rank with four memory chips per rank. This configuration is common in server environments where a balance between performance and density is required. The CAS Latency (CL) of 3 clock cycles dictates the delay between the memory controller issuing a read command and the data becoming available from the memory module, impacting the overall memory access speed. As a component from Dell, the 0X5538 is built to stringent quality standards for reliable operation in demanding IT infrastructures. It is essential for users to confirm that their system's motherboard and chipset support DDR2 RDIMMs with these specific specifications (speed, rank, and CAS latency) to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. This memory module plays a vital role in the overall responsiveness and multitasking capabilities of the server or workstation.
