Kingston KTD-WS667/2G-G 2GB Kit DDR2-667MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx8 CL5 Memory

Product Description

The Kingston KTD-WS667/2G-G is a memory kit designed to upgrade workstations and servers, providing a total of 2GB of RAM. The kit comprises two individual 1GB modules, both adhering to the DDR2 SDRAM standard and operating at a speed of 667MHz. This speed offers a significant improvement in data transfer rates compared to older DDR generations, contributing to faster application performance and system responsiveness. The modules utilize the FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM) form factor, which incorporates an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip on each module. This chip serializes data, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling higher memory capacities and speeds, particularly beneficial in multi-processor systems. Each module in this kit is configured as 2Rx8, indicating that it has two ranks (banks of memory chips) and each chip has an 8-bit data width. This dual-rank configuration can sometimes offer performance advantages in certain system architectures. The CAS Latency (CL) is specified as CL5, which refers to the number of clock cycles delay between the memory controller issuing a column-read command and the data being available. This timing parameter is crucial for system stability and performance, and it should be compatible with the motherboard's specifications. This 2GB DDR2 FB-DIMM kit from Kingston is engineered for environments that demand robust memory performance and stability. By increasing the system's RAM capacity and providing high-speed access, it allows for smoother multitasking, faster processing of large datasets, and improved overall system efficiency. It is essential to ensure that the target workstation or server explicitly supports DDR2 FB-DIMMs with these specifications (667MHz speed, CL5 latency, and 2Rx8 configuration) for proper installation and operation.
