Crucial Technology CT2KIT12864AA667 - 2GB 667MHz DDR2 Kit

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. 240-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR2 SDRAM memory for desktop computers. DDR2 is a leading-edge generation of memory with an improved architecture that allows it to transmit data very fast. 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 DDR2 240-pin DIMMs are available in DDR2 PC2-3200 SDRAM DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM and PC2-6400 SDRAM. To use DDR2 memory your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR2 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM 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 5.25 inches long and 1.18 inches high though the heights can vary. While 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. The notch in a 240-pin DDR2 DIMM is closer toward the center of the module. Ballistix and Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMMs Our high-performance Ballistix 240-pin DIMMs come in DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM and DDR2 PC2-8000 SDRAM. The Ballistix Tracer illuminated activity-indicating high-performance 240-pin DIMM comes in SDRAM DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM and DDR2 PC2-8000 SDRAM Ballistix 240-pin DIMM Approximately 5.25 in. by 1.18 in. (133.35 mm by 30 mm) Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM Approximately 5.25 in. by 1.18 in. (133.35 mm by 30 mm)
