Product Information
In the world of computer hardware, memory is a crucial component. Without memory, computers wouldn’t be able to run applications and store data. When it comes to servers, memory is even more important because servers are often used for heavy-duty tasks, such as running databases, virtual machines, and web servers. In this article, we will take a closer look at a specific type of memory module, the 3XWJ8 8GB (1x8GB) 1066MHz PC3-8500 240-Pin Quad Rank DDR3 Fully Buffered ECC Registered SDRAM DIMM Memory Module for Server made by Dell.
Memory Module Basics
Before diving into the details of the 3XWJ8 memory module, it’s important to understand some basic concepts related to computer memory. Memory modules are circuit boards that contain a series of memory chips. These chips are responsible for storing and retrieving data that is needed by the computer’s CPU (central processing unit).
Memory modules come in different sizes, speeds, and types. The size of a memory module is measured in gigabytes (GB) and refers to the amount of data that can be stored on it. The speed of a memory module is measured in MHz (megahertz) and refers to how quickly data can be read from and written to it. The type of a memory module refers to its specific technology, such as DDR3, DDR4, or SDRAM.
Fully Buffered ECC Registered SDRAM DIMM Memory Module
The 3XWJ8 memory module is a type of DDR3 memory module that is specifically designed for use in servers. It has a capacity of 8GB, which is a relatively large amount of memory for a single module. This means that servers can use fewer memory modules to achieve the same amount of memory, which can be helpful in situations where space is limited.
One of the key features of the 3XWJ8 memory module is that it is fully buffered. This means that there is a buffer between the memory chips and the memory controller. This buffer helps to improve the reliability and performance of the memory module by reducing the load on the memory controller.
Another important feature of the 3XWJ8 memory module is that it is ECC (error-correcting code) registered. ECC is a technology that helps to detect and correct errors in data that is stored in memory. This is particularly important in server environments, where data integrity is critical. The registered aspect of the memory module means that it uses a register to help with the control of memory operations.
1066MHz PC3-8500
The 3XWJ8 memory module has a speed of 1066MHz, which is a relatively slow speed compared to some other types of memory modules. However, it’s important to note that server memory modules often have slower speeds than those used in desktop or laptop computers. This is because server memory modules are designed to handle a larger amount of data and need to be more reliable.
The 1066MHz speed of the 3XWJ8 memory module is also referred to as PC3-8500. This naming convention is used to help identify the specific type of DDR3 memory module. PC3 refers to the third generation of DDR3 memory, while 8500 refers to the speed of the memory module in megabytes per second (MB/s).
240-Pin Quad Rank
The 3XWJ8 memory module has 240 pins, which is a relatively common number for DDR3 memory modules. The number of pins refers to the number of electrical contacts on the module that connect to the memory controller on the motherboard.
