Apacer Technology Inc., a global leader in memory modules and digital storage, continues its close collaboration with Intel on FB-DIMM development for servers and workstations. By passing strict validation testing and maintaining excellent performance, Apacer is the first Asian DRAM module maker approved by Intel's Platform Memory Organization (PMO) and also meet JEDEC specifications. In addition, Apacer was the only Asian module maker invited by Intel to join its APAC Intel Solutions Summit 2006 in Sanya, Hainan, China, from April 20 to 22.

During the Intel Solution Summit 2006, Apacer will showcase its complete line of Fully Buffered DIMMs which include DDR2 533 and DDR2 667 with capacities from 512MB to 2GB. FB-DIMMs are perfect solutions to overcome the expansion and data transfer bandwidth constraints of DDR2 memory modules. FB-DIMMs look nearly the same as conventional DDR and DDRII modules, except they have an AMB (Advanced Memory Buffer) at the center. The biggest advantage of FB-DIMM is the direct control over the module chips by means of point-to-point serial signals, designed partly to reduce the number of pins for signal transfer to 69, extensively reduce noise and transfer data at 3.2 Gbps or greater. Because FB-DIMM has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 38.4 GB and a maximum capacity of 192 GB, it fulfills the scalability, broad bandwidth, high speed and high capacity needs of servers and workstations
