Micron MT36HTF51272FY-80EG1N8 4GB DDR2-800MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx4 CL6 Memory

Description

The Micron MT36HTF51272FY-80EG1N8 is a 4GB DDR2 Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) memory module, sharing identical core technical specifications with the MT36HTF51272FY-80EG1D6. It operates at 800MHz (PC2-6400) and features a 2-rank x 4-bit (2Rx4) configuration with a CAS Latency of CL6. This module is designed for server and high-end workstation systems that utilize the FB-DIMM architecture, which was prevalent in earlier generations of enterprise hardware for its ability to support higher memory capacities. The FB-DIMM technology incorporates an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip on each module. This chip serializes data transfers between the memory controller and the DRAM chips, effectively decoupling the memory bus from the DRAM speed. This design allows for greater scalability and higher memory densities than previous buffered DIMM technologies. The 2Rx4 configuration means the module has two ranks, each comprised of four memory chips, optimized for the serialized data flow characteristic of FB-DIMMs. As with other FB-DIMMs, the MT36HTF51272FY-80EG1N8 includes a heat spreader to manage the increased thermal output from the AMB chip and DRAMs. This is crucial for maintaining system stability and the longevity of the memory module in demanding server environments. While DDR2 FB-DIMMs are largely superseded by newer DDR generations, modules like this remain important for maintaining and upgrading existing server infrastructure that relies on this specific memory technology.
