Crucial 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Registered ECC 135V 1024Meg x 72DDR3 240-pin DIMMApproximately 525 in by 118 in (13335 mm by 30 mm)Crucial 240-pin DIMMs are used in DDR3 memory for desktop computers DDR3 is the latest generation of memory with an improved architecture that allows it to transmit data more quickly A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green) The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other Each 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data path (72-bit for ECC or registered or Fully Buffered modules) (The Ballistix™ and Ballistix Tracer™ high-performance memory do not come in 72-bit or registered modules) Standard DDR3 240-pin DIMMs are currently available in PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066MHz) and PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) speeds Additional speeds will be added as the technology becomes available To use DDR3 memory your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a DDR3-enabled chipset This is because a DDR3 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard DDR2 DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket The number of black components on a 240-pin DIMM can vary but it always has 120 pins on the front and 120 pins on the back for a total of 240 240-pin DIMMs are approximately 525 inches long and 118 inches high though the heights can vary While 240-pin DDR3 DIMMS 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs 184-pin DDR DIMMs and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size 240-pin DIMMs and 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins ECC ECCForm Factor RDIMMModule Size 8GBKit Qty 1Speed 1600 MTSTracer FalseVoltage 135VDIMM Type RegisteredComponent Configuration x8 basedBullet Features Increases system performanceWarranty Limited LifetimeSpecs DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL11 • Dual Ranked • x8 based • Registered • ECC • DDR3-1600 • 135V • 1024Meg x 72...
