Kingston KVR533D2N4/1GOEM 1GB DDR2-533MHz PC2-4200 Non-ECC Unbuffered CL4 240-Pin DIMM Memory Module

Product Description

This Kingston ValueRAM module, identified by SKU KVR533D2N4/1GOEM, provides 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, intended for systems that utilize this older memory standard. Operating at a frequency of 533MHz, it meets the PC2-4200 specification, offering a moderate performance level suitable for general computing tasks and basic system upgrades. As an unbuffered DIMM, it is designed for direct communication with the memory controller, making it a common choice for standard desktop computers and some entry-level servers. The module features a CAS Latency (CL) of 4, indicating the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a column address strobe command. This latency is typical for DDR2-533 modules and represents a balance between speed and stability for its intended application. The 240-pin DIMM form factor is the standard physical configuration for DDR2 memory modules, ensuring compatibility with DDR2-compliant motherboard slots. It is important to note that this is a Non-ECC (Non-Error-Correcting Code) memory module. This means it lacks the error detection and correction capabilities inherent in ECC memory. Consequently, it is best suited for environments where the absolute highest level of data integrity is not a critical requirement. For systems demanding enhanced reliability, such as servers handling critical financial or scientific data, ECC memory would be the recommended alternative.
