Talk:Fully Buffered DIMM

240-Pins
It should be noted somewhere that the 240-pin configuration is NOT compatible with DDR2 memory either logically or physically. FB-DIMM's are notched differently (probably a good thing since they are not electrically compatible) See: Crucial Explanationfor reference. BluesFiddler 05:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as an ECC or non-ECC fully buffered dimm? Or does the architecture obviate the need -- I can't find anything in the article about whether the CRC means there's no such thing as ECC or non-ECC fully-buffered dimm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.194.187.135 (talk) 02:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * (Added very late, but...) All FB-DIMMs are ECC. That's why data transfers are in units of 72 and 144 bits.  If you look, there are 10 memory chips on the back and 8 on the front.  The AMB takes up 2 chips worth of space. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Inquirer?
Okay, reference number 11, The Inquirer, is definitely not a reliable source.

Compare with registered
I'm not sure what the difference between "Registered" and "Fully Buffered" is, and this article doesn't seem to make it clear. Pippin (talk) 18:58, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

outdated information
"Intel has adopted the technology for their newer Xeon 5000/5100 series and beyond, which they consider "a long-term strategic direction for servers".[6]" Afaict all the new nahelm based xeons use plain ddr3! dpes anyone know exactly which xeons used FBDIMMs (was it all the core2 based ones?) so we can fix this statement up?

Compatability.
The most important message of this article should be the fact that FB-DIMM DDR2 not compatable with DIMM DDR2. All IT specialists that I asked do not knew this fact. I payed money to find that FB-DIMM memory is useless for my DDR2 computer. DmitryP0 (talk) 00:34, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Correction. indents.
"FB-DIMMS have 240 pins and are the same total length as other DDR DIMMs but differ by having indents on both ends within the slot." I am new on wikipedia, and not fill comfortable to correct this, but I found no difference in "indents on both ends within the slot.". I have a photo, and going to upload it.
