Elpida SR512M-1606R-3200 Elpida SR512M-1606R-3200 512MB Memory RAM PC3200

Product Description

The Elpida SR512M-1606R-3200 is a 512 Megabyte (MB) DDR SDRAM memory module, rated for PC3200 performance. This means it operates at a clock speed of 400MHz, providing a theoretical peak bandwidth of 3200 MB/s. DDR (Double Data Rate) technology allows data transfer on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, significantly increasing data throughput compared to older SDR SDRAM. The module is in a 184-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor, standard for DDR memory used in desktop computers. With a capacity of 512MB, this module is suitable for basic computing tasks, older operating systems, or as a supplementary upgrade for systems that came with very limited RAM. The typical CAS latency (CL) for PC3200 modules is CL3, which represents the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a column address command. Elpida was a major manufacturer of memory chips and modules, known for producing reliable components. This 512MB DDR-400MHz module is primarily intended for upgrading or maintaining desktop computers from the early to mid-2000s that support DDR memory. It's essential to verify compatibility with the specific motherboard and CPU, as older systems often have strict requirements regarding memory type, speed, and capacity. This module offers a cost-effective way to improve system responsiveness for basic applications and general usage on compatible legacy hardware.
