Note: The following products are 232-PIN Chips, not the standard 184-PIN, and work only in a few systems. Please make sure you are purchasing this chip for use in a 232-PIN RAMBUS System.
The 32 Bit RIMM® module is a general purpose high-performance line of memory modules suitable for use in a broad range of applications including computer memory, personal computers, workstations, and other applications where high bandwidth and low latency are required. The use of Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology permits the use of conventional system and board design technologies. RIMM 3200 modules support 800MHz transfer rate per pin, resulting in total module bandwidth of 3200MB/s or 3.2GB/s. RIMM 4200 modules support 1066MHz transfer rate per pin, resulting in total module bandwidth of 4200MB/s or 4.2GB/s. The 32 Bit RIMM module provides two independent 16 or 18 bit memory channels to facilitate compact system design. The RDRAM architecture enables the highest sustained bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous, randomly addressed memory transactions. The separate control and data buses with independent row and column control yield over 95% bus efficiency. The RDRAM device multi-bank architecture supports up to four simultaneous transactions per device.
Rambus' RDRAM memory interface enables exceptional system bandwidth-to-cost ratios for a broad range of consumer electronic, networking and computing applications. Systems implementing the RDRAM memory interface benefit from the highest bandwidth per pin. The RDRAM memory interface achieves its high-speed design with innovative architectural and circuit features such as a highly efficient packet-based protocol, pipelined command and data, low-voltage signaling and precise clocking to minimize skew between clock and data lines.
ECC Modules may only be installed on systems that support ECC. You cannot mix ECC and Non-ECC modules even if your system supports ECC.
RDRAM is used in the highest-performance PC systems. RDRAM memory operates at high-frequency for increased throughput from each component. Current mainstream RDRAM memory operates at transfer speeds of 1200MHz. DDR is targeted towards mainstream applications and typically operate at transfer speeds of 400MHz, and SDRAM is used in low-performance systems. RDRAM is performance memory for users seeking to the highest performance from their PC RDRAM-enabled PCs excel at graphics, multimedia, CAD, content creation, and office applications.
