IBM 7042-1924 – 2 GB (2x1GB kit) Single Rank PC2-5300 CL5 ECC Low Power

Detailed Description:

The IBM 7042-1924 memory kit includes two 1GB modules, totaling 2GB, and is designed for compatibility with specific IBM servers and systems. This kit uses PC2-5300 ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory, operating at 667MHz with a CAS Latency of 5 (CL5). ECC memory is essential for server environments, as it can detect and correct the most common kinds of internal data corruption, ensuring data integrity and system reliability. The ‘Low Power’ feature of this memory indicates that it’s designed to consume less energy than standard modules, contributing to more efficient power usage in servers, which is crucial for reducing operational costs and environmental impact. The PC2-5300 specification refers to the theoretical bandwidth of the memory module, which in this case is 5300MB/s, providing a good balance between performance and power consumption. This memory kit is an excellent choice for businesses looking to upgrade their IBM servers with reliable, energy-efficient memory without compromising on performance. It’s particularly suited for applications requiring error correction capabilities, such as file servers, database servers, and in environments where data integrity is paramount.
