Virtium has announced its new 8 gigabyte (GB) DDR3 Registered DIMM in the Very-Low Profile (VLP). Virtium’s 8GB VLP Registered DIMM module has a height of 18.3mm (0.72 inches) and measures 3.57mm (0.140 inches) thick. It is innovatively designed using mainstream 2Gbit DDR3 DRAM monolithic package non-stacked components that meet high density, smaller size and lower cost memory application requirements. Virtium’s breakthrough layout technique gives customers increased reliability and the advantages of a greatly reduced module thickness for increased airflow through the components and throughout the system.
