Sun 3707972 512MB DDR-333MHz RDIMM 1Rx4 CL2.5 Memory

Product Description

The Sun 3707972 is a 512MB DDR SDRAM memory module designed for compatibility with older server and workstation platforms. Operating at a speed of 333MHz, it provides a foundational level of memory performance suitable for systems that utilize DDR memory technology. The module is a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), which incorporates a register chip to buffer address and command signals. This feature helps to reduce the electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for greater memory capacity and improved system stability in multi-processor or high-memory-configuration systems. This specific module is configured as 1Rx4, meaning it has one rank of memory chips, with each chip having a data width of 4 bits. This configuration is typical for lower-density memory modules and is designed to meet the specific requirements of the motherboards it is intended for. The CAS Latency (CL) is rated at CL2.5, indicating the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a column address command. This latency is characteristic of DDR memory speeds and contributes to the overall timing parameters of the memory subsystem. With its 512MB capacity, the Sun 3707972 serves as a reliable component for maintaining or upgrading the memory in legacy Sun Microsystems servers and other compatible systems. It is particularly useful for systems that may have reached their maximum supported memory capacity with smaller modules or for replacing faulty memory components in established infrastructure. Its DDR-333MHz speed and RDIMM type ensure it meets the specifications for a range of enterprise applications from its era.
