Micron MT36GTS1G72FY-667AZD4ES 8GB DDR2-667MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx4 CL5 Memory

Description

This Micron FB-DIMM module is engineered for enterprise-level computing environments where memory density and reliability are paramount. The fully buffered architecture allows for higher memory capacities per channel compared to traditional unbuffered DIMMs, by incorporating an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip on the module itself. This AMB chip serializes data, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling more DIMMs per channel. The 2Rx4 configuration indicates a dual-rank design with four data bits per chip. This arrangement can improve performance by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks independently, effectively doubling the available bandwidth for certain operations. The 667MHz speed, equivalent to PC2-5300F, provides substantial data transfer rates suitable for memory-intensive tasks such as large database operations, virtualization, and scientific simulations. Designed for servers and high-end workstations, the MT36GTS1G72FY-667AZD4ES offers a robust solution for memory upgrades. Its FB-DIMM form factor ensures compatibility with motherboards specifically designed to support this technology, typically found in older generations of enterprise hardware. The CL5 latency, while not the lowest, is a standard and well-balanced timing for DDR2 FB-DIMMs operating at this frequency, offering a good compromise between speed and stability.
