The Kingston PR person sent me an email stating that Kingston has launched Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules on April 5, 2006.Kingston is pleased to announce the newly launched Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules (FB-DIMM), offering cutting-edge solutions and driving the market to a new standard by breaking the 16GB-memory barrier.
Typical DRAM memory subsystems use a stub-bus topology that requires the data signals from the memory controller be electrically connected to the data lines of every DRAM module on the bus. With as many as 72 connections in today's server designs, the signals may degrade where the bus and DRAM devices meet, causing errors—especially as speeds increase.
FBDIMMs feature an advanced memory buffer (AMB) chip that overcomes these limitations so designers can put more memory into their servers and still keep errors low.
Kingston FB-DIMM Features and Specifications:
* Tested at 533 MHz for optimal performance
* 1.8 Volts operation
* Operational enhancements to increase memory performance, efficiency and timing margins
* Latency timings: 4-4-4
* Memory kits (modules) up to 2 GB
