Product Description

The Micron MT16LSDT3264AG-10EG3-8 is a 256 Megabyte (MB) Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) module designed for older desktop computer systems. It operates at a clock speed of 100MHz, identified by its PC100 rating, and features a CAS Latency (CL) of 2. This module is unbuffered and non-ECC, meaning it is intended for standard desktop applications where advanced error correction is not a primary requirement. The unbuffered design allows for direct communication with the memory controller on the motherboard. This memory module uses a 168-pin connector, which is standard for SDRAM DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) from that era. It operates at a voltage of 3.3V, which is typical for PC100 SDRAM. The unbuffered nature means it is generally used in systems where the memory controller can directly address the memory chips without intermediate buffering, which can be slightly faster but limits the total amount of memory that can be installed compared to buffered modules. This specific Micron module is suitable for upgrading or replacing memory in older computer systems that specifically support PC100 SDRAM. It is crucial to confirm motherboard compatibility before installation, as mixing different types or speeds of memory can lead to system instability or failure. The MT16LSDT3264AG-10EG3-8 represents a component from a time when 256MB was a common and adequate amount of RAM for many desktop computing tasks.
