Hynix HYMP564F72CP8N3-Y5AC-C 512MB DDR2-667MHz FB-DIMM 1Rx8 CL5 Memory

Product Description

The Hynix HYMP564F72CP8N3-Y5AC-C is a 512MB memory module built using DDR2 SDRAM technology, operating at a frequency of 667MHz. This module adheres to the FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM) standard, which incorporates an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip. The AMB chip serializes data transfers between the memory module and the memory controller, reducing signal degradation and allowing for higher memory capacities and speeds, especially in systems with multiple memory channels or processors. This design is particularly prevalent in server and workstation environments where memory bandwidth and capacity are critical. This specific module is configured as 1Rx8, meaning it has a single rank and each memory chip on the module has an 8-bit data width. A key specification for this module is its CAS Latency (CL) of 5. CAS Latency represents the number of clock cycles it takes for the memory module to respond to a column address command. A CL5 rating indicates a specific timing characteristic that affects the module's overall performance. When selecting memory, it's important to match the CAS Latency with what the system's memory controller supports for optimal stability and performance. As a 512MB DDR2 FB-DIMM, this Hynix module is designed to enhance the performance of compatible server and workstation systems. By providing additional memory capacity and high-speed access, it enables smoother multitasking, faster processing of large datasets, and improved overall system responsiveness. It is crucial to ensure that the target system explicitly supports DDR2 FB-DIMMs with these specifications, including the 667MHz speed and CL5 latency, for successful integration and operation.
