ATP Pushes "Green" DDR2 RAM Modules
The super low power sticks offer up a 1.5 to 3 watts-per-DIMM power saving, which is supposedly 35 percent or so compared to rival models by its calculations. The company has brought along the power saving DIMMs to its booth at the annual CeBIT trade show in Germany, and these are said to be shipping out now to those interested. Michael Plaksin, ATP Vice President of Sales, stated the following: "The biggest drawback on the standard FB-DIMMs is the high power consumption, and thus the associated heat. Not only does it cause servers to use more electricity and potentially shorten the systems' life cycles, but it also requires data centers to run the air-conditioning system much harder. ATP's new energy efficient FB-DIMM series, with up to 48 to 96 watts of power saving per system, addresses this critical limitation. We are proud to provide these solutions to our customers at no additional cost compared to the standard FB-DIMM modules."
