ADVANCED MEMORY BUFFER
FOR FULLY BUFFERED DIMM
MODULES
FEATURES:
DESCRIPTION:
• Advanced Memory Buffer for Fully buffered DIMMs
• 3.2 and 4 Gbit/s serial speeds (DDR2-533 and 667 DRAM)
• Support for up to eight DIMMs per channel
• Repeater Mode for extending FB-DIMM links
The fully buffered dual in-line memory module (FB-DIMM) is the next
