HP KY112UT 1GB DDR2-800MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx8 CL6 Memory

Product Description

The HP KY112UT is a 1GB memory module utilizing DDR2 technology, operating at a speed of 800MHz. This module is a Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM), a type of memory designed for servers and high-end workstations that require increased memory bandwidth and capacity compared to traditional unbuffered DIMMs. FB-DIMMs incorporate an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip, which serializes data transfers, allowing for higher clock speeds and greater density. The 2Rx8 configuration indicates that the module has two ranks of memory chips, each with an x8 data width. This dual-rank design can improve performance by allowing the memory controller to access data from different ranks concurrently, effectively increasing the available bandwidth. The CL6 (CAS Latency 6) specifies the number of clock cycles required for the memory module to respond to a column address strobe command, representing a balance between speed and stability for DDR2 memory. This specific HP module is engineered for reliability and performance in demanding computing environments. Its specifications make it suitable for systems that benefit from high-speed memory access, such as those running complex simulations, large databases, or virtualized environments. The FB-DIMM architecture was a key technology for scaling memory capacity in servers of its era.
