Op VR-Zone is het leuke nieuws te lezen dat Kingmax met 150 MHz SDRAM geheugen modules komt, goed nieuws dus voor de mensen die er van houden om hun Coppermine op een lekker hoge FSB te draaien:
Kingmax will soon launch the PC-150 SDRAM using Tiny BGA DRAM Modules. The new PC-150 SDRAM use the normal 168pin DIMM and can support 150Mhz FSB. This is indeed a great news for all overclockers who plan to get their system running stabily over 150Mhz FSB when their PC-133 SDRAM can't achieve. If a PC-133 can achieve 150Mhz+ that means this new PC-150 SDRAM can achieve 170Mhz+.
TinyBGA is a unique DRAM packaging size used in conjunction with advanced DRAM module technology that allows for greater memory capacity for the fast-growing market of compact and miniature products. With the TinyBGA (Ball Grid Array), the DRAM module pins fit onto motherboards in total compliance with industry standards. However, the TinyBGA employs a proprietary low-profile, high-density Chip Scale Package (CSP) architecture that creates up to a 50 percent reduction in the module’s physical size compared to conventional TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) assembly.
