The TechZone heeft een review gemaakt van het TinyBGA PC133 SDRAM van Kingmax. De reviewer was aardig te spreken over het geheugen (understatement) en gaf het dan ook een 9,5 als cijfer :
Who says size is everything or bigger is better? When I first looked at this SDRAM I was absolutely awestruck by its appearance. It was smaller than any other SDRAM I’ve encountered in every conceivable way. The thickness of the double-sided 128 meg DIMM seemed to be thinner than my single-sided 64 meg stick of Samsung PC100. And even more astonishing is the fact that this stick of Kingmax stood at a height that was 60% that of my Samsung. Now that’s definitely impressive! But, I had my skepticism… There had to be some sort of performance compromise for that decrease in size. Ahhh… But I was wrong. Read on… This memory will make a believer out of you, too!
[...] Without reservation I can honestly state, “I love this stuff!” I even went as far as selling both my Crucial and EMS PC133. I personally have not ever come across memory that had this many advantages over the competition. Kingmax seems to be an often-overlooked top contender in the high performance PC133 arena. Kingmax has taken the right road in memory manufacturing. They’ve found a great combination of “revolution” in their innovative TinyBGA packaging process and “evolution” by taking the next logical step in SDRAM’s future with developing DDR technology. Where other companies (you know who I mean…) have tried to revolutionize the next generation of memory products with proprietary memory architecture they’ve in essence bitten off their nose to spite their face by straying away from SDRAM architecture.

Zoals je kan zien hierboven is het TinyBGA geheugen (links) een stuk kleiner dan normaal geheugen, wat goed is voor een aantal dingen: het past misschien in een slot waar een koeler overheen zit, betere warmte afgifte door PCB en een korte signal trace wat betekend dat het geheugen op meer MHz kan lopen .
