Micron MT36HTF51272FZ667H1D 4GB DDR2-667MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx4 CL5 Memory

Product Description

The Micron MT36HTF51272FZ667H1D is a 4GB DDR2 Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) memory module, engineered for high-performance server and workstation environments where large memory capacities and high bandwidth are essential. This module operates at a speed of 667MHz, identified by the PC2-5300F designation, providing robust performance for memory-intensive tasks. The FB-DIMM architecture utilizes an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip on the module itself, which serializes data traffic between the memory controller and the DRAM chips. This design significantly reduces the electrical load on the memory controller, enabling higher memory densities and improved scalability in multi-processor systems. This specific module is configured as 2Rx4, meaning it is a dual-rank module. Each rank contains four memory chips, each 4 bits wide. Dual-rank modules can offer performance benefits by allowing the memory controller to interleave operations between the two ranks, potentially increasing data throughput. The FB-DIMM form factor, while offering advantages in scalability, is physically larger and consumes more power than standard DIMMs, and requires specific motherboard support. The 4GB capacity provides a substantial amount of memory for running complex applications, virtual machines, and large databases common in enterprise settings. Micron is a reputable manufacturer known for producing high-quality memory components. It is crucial to confirm system compatibility, particularly the support for DDR2 FB-DIMMs at 667MHz and the specific rank configuration, as FB-DIMMs are not interchangeable with standard DDR2 UDIMMs or RDIMMs.
