Micron delivers first four gigabyte DDR2 memory module to Intel

Memory firm Micron said today that they have deliverd the industry's first 4GB DDRII registered memory module to Intel.

The industry-standard, 240-pin PC2-4300 DDR2 RDIMM is populated with thirty-six one gigabit (1Gb) DDR2 components using a stacked FBGA technology.

“Micron's demonstration of a 4GB RDIMM and the underlying 1Gb DDR2 technology is another important step in enabling Intel server platform customers with the latest high-density solutions,” said Pete MacWilliams, Intel Senior Fellow, Intel Corporation.

“We are leveraging Micron’s leading position with 1Gb DDR2 to become the first supplier to demonstrate these high-density DDR2 RDIMMs,” said Terry Lee, Executive Director of Advanced Technology and Strategic Marketing for Micron’s Computing and Consumer Group. “4GB DDR2 RDIMMs are the highest-density modules available today, enabling server and workstation customers to ship systems containing 16GB of DDR2 memory while only populating four module slots.”
