Dell A5648540 2GB DDR3-1333MHz RDIMM 1Rx4 CL9 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A5648540 is a 2GB memory module utilizing DDR3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) technology. It operates at a clock speed of 1333MHz, offering a performance improvement over the 1066MHz standard for DDR3 memory. This module is intended for Dell servers and workstations that require this specific memory type and speed, providing a foundational level of memory for various computing tasks. As a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), this module includes an onboard register that buffers the command and address signals. This feature helps to reduce the electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for greater scalability in terms of the number of DIMMs that can be installed in a system, and enhancing overall system stability. The 1Rx4 organization indicates a single rank with a data width of x4, a configuration often chosen for its balance of density and performance characteristics. The module has a CAS Latency (CL) of 9. This timing parameter specifies the number of clock cycles required to access a specific memory column. While CL9 is slightly higher than CL7 found on some 1066MHz modules, the increased clock speed of 1333MHz generally results in better overall throughput. Importantly, the A5648540 supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) functionality. ECC memory is vital in server and workstation environments as it can detect and correct single-bit errors, and detect multi-bit errors, thereby preventing data corruption and ensuring system reliability. This makes it a suitable choice for applications where data integrity is critical.
