Product Description

The Samsung M368L3223FTN-CCC-2 is a 256MB memory module designed for desktop computer systems that support DDR SDRAM technology. This module operates at a speed of 400MHz, corresponding to the PC3200 standard, which was common in systems from the early to mid-2000s. The 184-pin UDIMM form factor is characteristic of DDR memory modules, distinguishing them from earlier SDRAM or later DDR2/DDR3 modules. This particular memory module is specified as non-ECC (Non-Error-Correcting Code) and unbuffered. Non-ECC memory is standard for most consumer-grade desktop PCs, whereas ECC memory is typically found in servers and workstations where data integrity is paramount. Unbuffered memory directly accesses the memory controller without an intermediate buffer chip, which is common for standard desktop DIMMs. The CAS Latency (CL) is rated at 3, indicating the number of clock cycles required for the memory controller to access a specific column in a row of memory. With a capacity of 256MB, this module is suitable for upgrading older systems that may have come with very limited RAM, or for replacing a faulty module. It's important to ensure compatibility with the specific motherboard and CPU of the target system, as older chipsets have limitations on the type, speed, and maximum capacity of memory they can support. This module is a legacy component for maintaining or upgrading older PC hardware.
