DRAM is a type of RAM (random access memory), used as the main memory in several computing devices, such as desktop and notebook computers, servers, and advanced workstations. It is the widely used semiconductor memory, used in current generation computers, and offers several significant advantages, such as structural simplicity, very high packing densities (number of bytes, that can be stored per unit of chip area), low power consumption, and sufficiently high data read/write speeds. This type of memory has undergone several innovative technological developments and offers very high cost/performance ratios. Registered DIMMs (or RDIMMs) are designed with an additional hardware register between the DRAM module and the system's memory controller. RDIMMs present several advantages for the system, such as a lower electrical load on the memory controller and sustained stability even with an increase in the number of installed memory modules. Thus, RDIMMs are often the default choice for deployment in server-class
