Product Description

The Netlist NLD257R21203F-D32KIA is a 2 Gigabit (equivalent to 256 Megabytes) DDR2 SDRAM memory module designed for server and workstation applications. It operates at a frequency of 400MHz, providing a data transfer rate of PC2-3200, which was a common standard for high-performance computing systems of its generation. This module utilizes a Registered DIMM (RDIMM) architecture, which includes an onboard register to buffer command and address signals. This buffering reduces the load on the memory controller, allowing for greater memory capacity and improved system stability in multi-processor or high-memory configurations. This memory module features ECC (Error-Correcting Code) support, a critical feature for server environments where data integrity is paramount. ECC memory can detect and correct single-bit errors and detect multi-bit errors, significantly reducing the risk of data corruption and system crashes. The CAS latency (CL) of 3 clock cycles is typical for DDR2-400 modules, balancing performance with stability. The NLD257R21203F-D32KIA is a dual-rank module, meaning it has two independent sets of memory components accessible by the memory controller. This can improve performance by allowing the controller to interleave accesses between ranks. With its DDR2 technology, 256MB capacity, RDIMM form factor, ECC capabilities, and dual-rank design, this Netlist module is suited for maintaining or upgrading older server infrastructure that requires reliable and robust memory solutions.
