Dell A0428479 512MB DDR2-400MHz RDIMM 1Rx8 CL3 Memory

Description

The Dell A0428479 is a 512 Megabyte (MB) memory module that utilizes DDR2 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) technology. Operating at a speed of 400MHz, this module is designed to enhance the performance of compatible Dell computer systems by providing additional random-access memory. The DDR2 technology offers improved bandwidth and lower power consumption compared to its predecessor, DDR. This specific memory module is an RDIMM (Registered DIMM). Registered DIMMs include a register chip that buffers the command and address signals between the memory controller and the DRAM chips. This buffering reduces electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for more memory modules to be installed in a system and improving overall memory stability, especially in servers and workstations. The '1Rx8' designation indicates a single-rank module with eight memory chips per rank, a common configuration for DDR2 memory. As an ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capable module (implied by RDIMM and typical for server/workstation memory), it can detect and correct single-bit memory errors, which is crucial for maintaining data integrity and system reliability in demanding computing environments. The A0428479 is intended as a memory upgrade or replacement part for Dell systems that support DDR2 400MHz RDIMMs, ensuring compatibility and performance.
