Promos V826632K24SCIW-D3 ProMOS V826632K24SCIW-D3 256MB DDR-400Mhz PC3200U-3033-0-A0 Memory RAM

Product Description

The Promos V826632K24SCIW-D3 is a 256MB DDR SDRAM memory module, operating at a speed of 400MHz, which corresponds to a PC3200 performance rating. DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM technology allows for data transfer on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, effectively doubling the data rate compared to older SDR SDRAM. This module is designed in a 184-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor, which is standard for DDR memory used in desktop computers. With a capacity of 256MB, this module provides a modest amount of memory suitable for basic computing tasks, older operating systems, or as an upgrade for systems that came with very limited RAM. The PC3200 rating signifies a theoretical peak bandwidth of 3200 MB/s (400 million operations per second * 8 bytes per transfer). The typical CAS latency (CL) for PC3200 modules is CL3, indicating the number of clock cycles it takes for the memory controller to access a specific column address once the row address has been established. Promos was a manufacturer of memory components, and this module represents a standard offering for the DDR generation of memory. It is crucial to ensure compatibility with the motherboard's chipset and CPU, as older systems may have specific requirements for memory type, speed, and capacity. This 256MB DDR-400MHz module is best suited for upgrading or maintaining systems from the early to mid-2000s that support DDR memory.
