Dell AA358195 16GB DDR4-2666MHz UDIMM 2Rx8 CL19 Memory

Product Description

The Dell AA358195 is a 16GB DDR4 Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) memory module designed for standard desktop computers and workstations. Operating at a frequency of 2666MHz, it provides a significant performance boost over older DDR generations, enabling faster application loading and smoother multitasking. The module is configured as Dual Rank (2Rx8), which means it has two sets of memory chips on each side of the PCB, offering improved performance and efficiency compared to single-rank modules in certain configurations. The CAS latency of CL19 indicates the number of clock cycles required to access a particular column address, contributing to the module's overall responsiveness. Unlike Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs) do not have an onboard register. This means the memory controller directly communicates with the DRAM chips. While this configuration typically consumes less power and is common in consumer-grade systems, it may limit the total amount of memory a system can support compared to RDIMMs. The AA358195 is a non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) module, meaning it does not have built-in error detection and correction capabilities. This is standard for most desktop and consumer-oriented systems where the cost and complexity of ECC are not required. This 16GB DDR4-2666MHz UDIMM is a suitable upgrade for enhancing the performance of compatible Dell desktop and workstation systems. It is ideal for users looking to improve their system's ability to handle everyday tasks, productivity applications, and moderate multitasking. By increasing the system's RAM, users can expect a more fluid computing experience, reduced lag when switching between applications, and better overall system responsiveness. Compatibility should always be verified with the specific system's motherboard specifications.
