Dell SNP9F035C/8G 8GB Kit (8x4GB) DDR2-667MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx4 CL5 Memory

Product Description

The Dell SNP9F035C/8G is a memory kit designed to expand the memory capacity of compatible Dell servers and workstations. This kit comprises eight 1GB modules, delivering a total of 8GB of DDR2 memory operating at 667MHz. It utilizes Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) technology, which incorporates an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip on each module. This chip serializes data, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling higher memory capacities and improved signal integrity, which was a significant advancement for DDR2 memory systems. Each 1GB module in this kit is specified as 2Rx4, indicating a dual-rank configuration with an x4 data width per rank. Dual-rank modules can enhance performance by providing more memory banks for the controller to access, potentially improving throughput. The x4 organization refers to the data width of the individual DRAM chips used on the module. The CAS latency of CL5 is characteristic of DDR2 memory, representing the number of clock cycles between the memory controller issuing a column-address command and the data becoming available. This memory kit is suitable for systems that require additional memory for running multiple applications, handling larger datasets, or supporting virtualization. The inclusion of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) is a critical feature for server environments, as it provides enhanced data reliability by detecting and correcting single-bit errors, thereby minimizing the risk of system crashes and data corruption. The SNP9F035C/8G kit is a viable option for upgrading older server platforms that are equipped with DDR2 FB-DIMM memory slots.
