Larry, The PC100 spec requires -8 or 125 MHz parts. Yes the -10 parts can theoretically run at 100 MHz but not on a DIMM, with a connector, and placed on a motherboard. The PC100 spec also places requirements on things like access time. The SDRAM interface decouples the bus interface from the DRAM core. Some devices will take more clocks than others to perform some operations. How many fabs and designs yield 125 MHz parts? How much test capacity is available? Interesting questions. How many motherboards and processors will make effective use of PC100 DIMMs? How fast will their productions and sales ramp? More interesting questions. Ed
