IBM 07L6696 – 64MB SMP Dimm

Detailed Description:

The IBM 07L6696 64MB SMP DIMM represents a critical piece of hardware technology, pivotal during its time for enhancing the memory capacity of several IBM server systems. This DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is designed with synchronous memory protocol (SMP) to improve the efficiency of data handling between the memory and the processor. With a memory size of 64MB, it provided a significant boost in performance for computers running complex applications and large databases, especially in an era when every megabyte of RAM was crucial for executing operations faster. It utilized a parallel type of data processing to speed up the read/write cycles, which was a considerable improvement over previous memory technologies. The integration of such a memory module into IBM’s server systems meant businesses could achieve faster throughput and improved multitasking capabilities, leading to enhanced overall system performances.
