Hi Gene Parrott; Sure enough, the Intel spec for PC133 SDRAM includes a 333 and a 222 version, (and no others) and that is undoubtedly what Micron is talking about: developer.intel.com -- Carl

Hi Gene Parrott; Re that Micron 222 PC133 SDRAM's performance... Remember how the Intel people mixed bandwidth with latency and made slides that showed a high bandwidth system getting more effective latency? TweakMax did the reverse. They compared 222 and 333 memory and showed that the lower latency improves the measured bandwidth. A lot: tweakmax.com Basically, I think that this shows that the bandwidth measurement software measures latency as well as bandwidth. You would think that they could null the latency out, and give back a more pure bandwidth number... In any case, that 222 DRAM is quite a bit faster than the 333. -- Carl
