FAQ
What is the total memory capacity of this Transcend module?
This Transcend memory kit provides 2GB total capacity configured as two separate 1GB modules. The dual-module design allows for installation in two memory slots, which can enable dual-channel operation on compatible motherboards for improved memory bandwidth compared to single-module configurations.
What DDR generation does this memory module use?
This module utilizes DDR2 SDRAM technology, specifically the DDR2-800/PC2-6400 standard. DDR2 represents the second generation of double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory, offering improved performance over original DDR while operating at lower voltages for better power efficiency.
What is the operating speed and latency of this memory?
The memory operates at 800 MHz with CAS latency timing of CL5. The 800 MHz frequency represents the data transfer rate, while CL5 indicates the number of clock cycles required to access a column of data. This combination provides balanced performance suitable for everyday computing tasks and moderate multitasking scenarios.
Is this ECC or non-ECC memory?
This is non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. Non-ECC modules don't include the additional circuitry required to detect and correct memory errors, making them suitable for mainstream desktop applications where absolute data integrity isn't critical. This configuration reduces complexity and cost compared to ECC alternatives.
What form factor and pin count does this module have?
The module uses the DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor with a 240-pin interface. The 240-pin configuration is standard for DDR2 desktop memory, ensuring compatibility with motherboard slots designed for DDR2 modules. The DIMM form factor is the most common for desktop system memory.
What systems are compatible with this DDR2 memory?
This memory is compatible with desktop systems that have DDR2 memory slots and support the DDR2-800/PC2-6400 standard. Compatibility depends on your motherboard's specific memory requirements, including supported speeds, capacities, and module configurations. Always verify your system's memory specifications before purchasing.
