      Comments about Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) 240-pin DIMM DDR3 PC3-10600:

      This kit was used for a Sandybridge board and chip. It's nearly as cheap as the cheapest available, but Crucial extra support makes it a no-brainer. Half the price of last year's triple-channel 6GB kit I purchased, and nearly as fast. This is not a comparatively high performance kit, and I have not tried to overclock it, but dual-channel 1333MHz 9/9/9/24 is plenty for all business and media use, if not gaming.

      • Primary use:
      • Business

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      DDR3 240-pin DIMM

      240-pin DDR3 DIMM
      Approximately 5.25 in. by 1.18 in. (133.35 mm by 30 mm)

      Crucial 240-pin DIMMs are used in DDR3 memory for desktop computers. DDR3 is the latest generation of memory with an improved architecture that allows it to transmit data more quickly.

      A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other.

      Each 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data path (72-bit for ECC or registered or Fully Buffered modules). (The Ballistix™ and Ballistix Tracer™ high-performance memory do not come in 72-bit or registered modules.) Standard DDR3 240-pin DIMMs are currently available in PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066MHz) and PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) speeds. Additional speeds will be added as the technology becomes available.

      To use DDR3 memory, your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a DDR3-enabled chipset. This is because a DDR3 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard DDR2 DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket.

      The number of black components on a 240-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 120 pins on the front and 120 pins on the back, for a total of 240. 240-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.18 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 240-pin DDR3 DIMMS, 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 240-pin DIMMs and 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.
