Abstract
A dual inline memory module (DIMM) includes a card having a length of about 151.2 to about 151.5 millimeters, a plurality of individual local memory devices attached to the card, and a buffer device attached to the card, the buffer device configured for converting a packetized memory interface. The card includes at least 276 pins configured thereon including a plurality of high-speed bus interface pills arranged on said card for communicating with a plurality of high-speed busses. The high-speed bus interface pins associated with a single high-speed bus are located on one side of the card with respect to a midpoint of the length of the card, thus the pin assignments are defined such that the performance of the DIMM in a system is optimized for high frequency operation.
