IDENTITY: DDR-400 PC3200 184-pin UDIMM is cataloged as ddr sdram unbuffered desktop dimm standard. Standards entries describe a module class; named manufacturer entries describe one SKU. Do not treat them as interchangeable records.

Recorded specifications

Catalog identityDDR-400 PC3200 184-pin UDIMM
Record typeDDR SDRAM unbuffered desktop DIMM standard
Verified specifications184-pin desktop DIMM; DDR-400 transfers at 400 MT/s per pin; PC3200 is the nominal 3.2 GB/s peak bandwidth class for a 64-bit channel. JEDEC DDR voltage class is 2.5 V; precise CAS timings are module-specific.
CompatibilityRequires a DDR SDRAM-capable socket and memory controller. DDR and SDR DIMMs are keyed/electrically incompatible. Confirm board support for the module density and maximum per-slot capacity.
Unverified/variable detailsOnly values supported by the cited standard or manufacturer source are stated. Confirm exact part number/revision, SPD, ranks, timings, and voltage on the specimen when not specified above.

Platform compatibility and service

  • Requires a DDR SDRAM-capable socket and memory controller. DDR and SDR DIMMs are keyed/electrically incompatible. Confirm board support for the module density and maximum per-slot capacity.
  • Before installation, record the full label, manufacturer, part number, revision/date code, contact condition, chip markings, and SPD contents where present.
  • Use ESD precautions, handle the module by its edges, and never force it into a slot with different keying. Power down and follow the host’s service manual.
  • For server/ECC modules, confirm CPU support, buffering type, channel population, supported ranks/densities, and firmware behavior; physical fit is not proof of ECC operation.

Archival and service notes

This entry describes the JEDEC-era module/rate class, not a particular branded stick. Do not infer rank, capacity, latency, ECC, or buffered status from PC3200 alone. Photograph both sides before cleaning; retain the host manual, SPD dump, test host, BIOS revision, and memory-test result with the catalog record.
