“Intel was first to adopt DDR2 memory when they had launched
their LGA-775 socket nearly two years ago with the Grantsdale and
Alderwood Chipsets. Intel Corporation is first again to introduce
the latest in memory technology: FB-DIMM. FB-DIMM is short for
Fully Buffered Dual Inline Memory Module, and is primarily designed
for mission-critical server environments that require maximum
performance with minimal errors. FB-DIMMs are designed to bring the
best traits from DDR2 memory while combining a new point-to-point
serial memory interface. Some of the key benefits for Fully
Buffered DIMMs include enhanced reliability, greater bandwidth,
improved scalability, and higher capacity per memory
channel…”
