This server features IBM's Enterprise X-Architecture(TM) technology, a combination of industry-standard features and mainframe-inspired capabilities. The Enterprise X-Architecture technology enables the x360 to use up to 8GB of new, super-fast Double Data Rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) Chipkill(TM) memory for higher performance, improved reliability and lower cost. Dataram's DRIX DRIX Dragon Internet eXchange 360 DDR ECC memory (Error-Correcting Code memory) A memory system that tests for and corrects errors automatically, very often without the operating system being aware of it, let alone the user. is available in capacities of 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB and all are 100% compatible with the xSeries 360 server, including full support of IBM's Chipkill technology. The 16-bit Chipkill logic can correct 1, 2, 3, or 4-bit errors on the same DRAM and detect 1 to 8 bit errors contained in two DRAMs. "One of the most important features to look for when selecting memory is whether or not it supports IBM's Chipkill technology," stated Jeff Goldenbaum, Dataram's Product Manager.
