De High Performance Optimization Guide heeft een artikel in elkaar geragd met veel handig info over wat er allemaal mis kan gaan bij het kopen van een onschuldig reepje PC100. Hier wat info:
There are all sort of claims in this industry and while some vendors are pretending to offer 8ns, 7ns or even 6ns they are in fact offering only 10ns parts. Most of these confusion is coming from the parts numbering used by the manufacturers and codes like 7j, 7K,G8,GL,7K, printed at the end of the part number on the memory chips is meaning absolutely nothing for most of the end users.Among the Intel PC100 memory compliance specifications, two of theses specifications are stating that a PC100 memory module must at least have a Tck value equal or inferior to 10ns and a Tac value equal or inferior to 6ns. So, as long as a PC100 memory module meets Tck=10 and Tac=6, it is PC100 compliant. Tck= Clock Period in ns and Tac= Timing Access from Clock in ns.
