New 4GB Fully Buffered DIMM from Legacy Electronics Eliminates Need for Dual Die Devices, Offers Cost Savings.SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. -- PC design engineers and system integrators now have a new, immediately available option for a fully buffered dual in-line memory module See DIMM. (storage) Dual In-line Memory Module - Small circuit boards carrying memory integrated circuits, with signal and power pins on both sides of the board, in contrast to single-in-line memory modules (SIMM). (FB-DIMM) that offers high density in a standard form factor. The 4GB DDR2 FB-DIMM from Legacy Electronics is a JEDEC-standard, pin-out DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module offering a low-profile (1.18 inch or 30mm) PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. height in speeds ranging from PC2-3200 to PC2-5300. This means that Apple- and Intel-platform designers, and more specifically any high-speed, high-density blade server and 1U-Chassis designers, can address their applications' needs without stacking or use of dual die devices. This new DIMM option translates to a significant cost savings and increased performance in most designs. Jason Engle, president of Legacy Electronics, added, "We believe Legacy is first to market with a qualified 4GB FB-DIMM for both the Apple and Intel platforms. Our design meets the height restrictions necessary for a 1U server chassis, and the popular MacPro." Legacy's new 4GB FB-DIMM also provides the reliability of Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB), which replaces registers and phase lock loops (PLLs) used on other DIMMs. The AMB buffers the DRAM devices from the channel, and uses a high-speed, point-to-point differential interface to communicate with the controller. This process translates to increased system memory capacity, reduced memory channel pin count, and higher reliability. Availability and More Information The 4GB DDR2 FB-DIMM is available now in 100-unit quantities at $895. More information is available by contacting Legacy Electronics.
