What are 232pin Rambus Rimms?
A 232 Pin Rimm is approximately 5 ΒΌ inches in length and 1 inch in height and contains 116 Pins on either side. 232 Pin Direct Rambus Rimm Modules (PC4200 – 32bit) are an industry first high-speed RDRAM module. The module has a 2-channel feature boasting record operating speeds of 4.2gigabytes per second (GBps). This is 4X faster than a conventional SDRAM module and 2X the performance of DDR SDRAM module. Present RDRAM based PCs are found with single channel modules that normally has at least two modules working as a pair. In contrast, the RIMM4200 module can be installed in single pieces which facilitates easier memory upgrades for the end user.
