Dell A1473709 4GB DDR2-667MHz RDIMM 2Rx4 CL5 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A1473709 memory module is engineered to enhance the performance and stability of compatible Dell server and workstation systems. With a 4GB capacity, it provides ample memory for multitasking and running memory-intensive applications. The DDR2 technology, operating at 667MHz, ensures efficient data transfer rates suitable for many enterprise environments. As a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), this module incorporates onboard registers that buffer command and address signals, reducing electrical load on the memory controller. This feature is crucial for systems with a high number of memory modules installed, improving signal integrity and allowing for greater memory expansion. The 2Rx4 configuration indicates a dual-rank design with a x4 data width per rank, which can offer performance benefits in certain server workloads by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks concurrently. The CL5 CAS Latency signifies the number of clock cycles required to access a particular memory address. While lower latency is generally preferred, CL5 at 667MHz represents a standard for DDR2 RDIMMs, providing a reliable balance between speed and compatibility. This module also features Error-Correcting Code (ECC) functionality, which detects and corrects single-bit memory errors, thereby enhancing system reliability and data integrity, a critical requirement for mission-critical applications and servers.
