After Midnight...
So we are just going to do it, that is, we are going to run everything at the highest latency settings. That is, we are sticking with CAS-2.5 since the majority of modules would not support the CAS-3 setting to begin with for the simple lack of necessary pipeline stages in the DRAM output path
All of a sudden, the Samsung Original and the KingMax modules take off but then, we had a surprise element in the form of some older Mushkin Level2 PC2100 DIMMs that would not work at CAS-2 either. Those modules were based on the Samsung C-Revision but even the Samsung Originals based on the D-Rev all of a sudden look very appealing.
A stripped Level-2
they don't make'em like that anymore.
Another Frank Perdue here, no skin.... I didn't even realize the wizened age of the module until I looked at the picture. Cameras don't lie, there is dust, there are scratches on the contacts and then, there are these numbers shown above and below
at 300 MHz FSB with the memory at the 320 MHz setting for a total of DDR480 which is not even getting close to scratching the limits of the DIMM yet. At the 1:1 setting, we were running 255/255 MHz but that would still not give the overall bandwidth of the asynchronous setting.... and since screenshots are what it is all about..
