Abstract

Memory modules having accurate operating parameters stored thereon and methods for fabricating and implementing such devices to improve system performance. Memory modules comprising a number of volatile memory devices may be fabricated. Operating parameters for specific memory devices on the memory module or a specific lot in which the memory devices are fabricated may be stored on a non-volatile memory device on the memory module. A system may be configured in accordance with the operating parameters stored on the non-volatile memory device such that corresponding thresholds are not exceeded.
