Product Description
IBM 3004 256MB Main Storage DIMM
The IBM 3004 256MB Main Storage DIMM is a legacy memory module designed to expand system RAM in compatible older IBM Power Systems, iSeries, and pSeries servers. This 256MB DIMM offers significant capacity increase to support growing AIX and IBM i workloads, helping maintain or improve performance in production, development, or test environments on supported legacy hardware.
Manufactured to IBM specifications, the 3004 ensures stable operation, full compatibility, and long-term reliability for systems running mission-critical legacy applications. Ideal for memory upgrades, replacements, or preventive maintenance on older platforms still in service.
