Joshua liet ons weten dat Hot Hardware een roundup van twee Corsair en Mushkin PC133 CAS2 DIMMs heeft gepost. Beide reepjes bereikten op de CAS3 setting een maximale kloksnelheid van 160MHz. De Mushkin reep ging op een CAS latency van 2 cycles tot maximaal 155MHz. Op deze snelheid was het Corsair DIMMetje niet volledig stabiel:
The Mushkin stick was able to withstand a full 155MHz. FSB setting at CAS2 without one lock up or crash in our test. The Corsair module booted Windows 98 fine and ran the test at 155MHz. FSB with a CAS2 setting but then crashed after a few minutes. Both modules could handle a 160MHz. FSB but neither would boot the system at 160/CAS2.In short, the Mushkin memory looks slightly more robust. However, this test could be showing the margin of error possible due to motherboard instability with a specific module at these high clock speeds. It is difficult for anyone to conclude that at crash at this speed is either the memory or the motherboard's fault. After all, at 155MHz. Front Side Bus, there are lot of things in the system that are running beyond spec. Our opinion is that both modules performed admirably but perhaps the Mushkin module is a little more forgiving.
