HP A3830-69001 Memory (DIMM) : 128MB, 50ns, 72-pin EDO

Product Description

The HP A3830-69001 is a 128MB memory module utilizing Extended Data Out (EDO) DRAM technology. EDO DRAM was an advancement over standard Fast Page Mode DRAM, allowing data to be read for a short period after the row address strobe (RAS) signal had ended, thus improving performance. This module is presented in a 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) form factor, which was common in older PC architectures, particularly those based on Intel 386, 486, and early Pentium processors. With an access time of 50 nanoseconds, this memory module provides relatively quick data retrieval for its era. The 72-pin configuration typically indicates a non-parity module, meaning it does not have error checking capabilities, which were more prevalent in server-grade memory. This makes it suitable for general-purpose computing systems of the late 1990s and early 2000s. This HP memory module is intended for legacy computer systems that specifically require 72-pin EDO SIMMs. It is crucial for users to verify motherboard compatibility, as installing incorrect memory types can lead to system instability or failure to boot. The 128MB capacity offers a significant upgrade for systems that originally came with much less RAM.
