Kingston Technology’s FB-DIMM modules are a high-speed high-density memory solution for related technology workstation and server platforms.
Kingston Technology has released a new line of fully buffered dual-inline memory modules (FB-DIMMs). As the world’s largest independent memory manufacturer, Kingston Technology took an early decision to support FB-DIMM, committing major resources to the research and development of this next generation technology. This bold strategic decision is now paying-off, with Kingston Technology fast becoming the leading manufacturer and supplier of FB-DIMM memory to Intel and the industry.

Kingston Technology’s FB-DIMM modules are a high-speed high-density memory solution for related technology workstation and server platforms.

The new modules will offer memory flexibility and greater expansion options, opening new horizons in memory technology.

Kingston’s FB-DIMMs will resolve the DDR2 memory ’speed/capacity’ bottleneck issue and also comply with JEDEC standards.

FB-DIMM memory architecture provides up to six memory channels, with each channel supporting up to eight dual-rank memory modules, enabling two channels to simultaneously read and write in concurrent transactions.

Already a strategic supplier of FB-DIMMs to major OEMs, Kingston Technology’s FB-DIMMs provide a comprehensive solution to many signal integrity and quality concerns.

JK Tsai, Director of Technology at Kingston Technology comments: ‘FB-DIMM architecture increases server memory capacity from 8 to 192Gbyte at a high speed, based on a 4Gbyte-module configuration - delivering an impressive 24-fold increase’.

Tsai continues: ‘In addition to higher capacity, the FB-DIMMs have a peak bandwidth four times greater than standard DDR2 server modules’.

The benefits of using Kingston’s FB-DIMM technology on high-end servers include scalability, flexibility and higher capacity, and the same new technology will increase speed and performance.

Kingston Technology’s engineers have developed special boards and test programs that are used to conduct parametric and characterisation testing on high-end Agilent testers to ensure that FB-DIMMs are functional and comply with industry specifications.

Kingston’s FB-DIMMs come with a lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical support.
