The 8GB 240-Pin RDIMM DDR3 PC3-12800 VLP Memory Module from Crucial is designed to run at 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) with a CAS latency of 11. The high-density DDR3, Very Low Profile (VLP) DIMM is designed for blade server and network router technology, meeting the ATCA form factor guidelines. It is compatible with existing RDIMM sockets, and significantly boosts your overall telecom and networking capabilities by addressing design challenges and server applications such as space, speed, airflow, thermal, and power consumption.

It is a dual inline memory module that requires 1.35V power. The DDR3 memory module is used in desktop monitors, and has an improved architecture that allows quick transmission of data. The 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data path (72-bit for ECC or registered or fully buffered modules). To use the 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 SDRAM DIMM socket, DDR, or DDR2 DIMM socket.
