Kingston 3429693 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600MHz Non-ECC Unbuffered CL11 240-Pin UDIMM Memory Module

Product Description

This Kingston memory module, identified by SKU 3429693, is a 4GB DDR3 SDRAM module engineered to boost the performance of compatible computer systems. Operating at a speed of PC3-12800 (1600MHz), it facilitates faster data transfer rates between the CPU and memory, leading to quicker application loading times and improved overall system responsiveness. The module adheres to the Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) standard, making it suitable for a wide range of desktop and server applications where direct memory access is required. The specifications of this module include a CAS Latency (CL) of 11, which indicates the number of clock cycles required for the memory controller to access a particular column in a row of memory. A lower CL value generally signifies faster performance. Being Non-ECC (Non-Error-Correcting Code) means it does not have built-in error detection and correction capabilities, which is typical for consumer-grade systems and some entry-level servers where the cost-benefit of ECC is less critical. With its 240-pin connector, this 4GB DDR3 UDIMM is designed for easy installation into standard motherboards. The combination of 1600MHz speed, CL11 latency, and unbuffered architecture makes it a solid choice for users looking to upgrade their system's memory for better multitasking capabilities and smoother operation of demanding software. It is often used to increase the total RAM in a system, thereby alleviating bottlenecks that can occur when the system relies heavily on slower storage devices for temporary data.
