What is PC133?
| 133MHz FSB SDRAM |
|
The PC133 specification details the requirements for Synchronous Dynamic RAM modules used on 133MHz FSB motherboards. PC133 SDRAM can be used on 100MHz FSB motherboards but will not yield a performance advantage over PC100 memory at 100MHz. In roughly the middle of 2000, Intel upgraded all current chip sets in their motherboard designs to this standard. One element in this new architecture included an increase in the PC main memory bus speed (Host bus) up to 133 MHz, called PC133. To match the 133MHz bus speed, 133MHz SDRAM modules are used. These modules are often referred to as PC 133 compliant. A further extension of the PC100 specification, the PC 133 specification details the requirements for SDRAM used on 133MHz FSB motherboards. PC133 SDRAM can be used on 100MHz FSB motherboards but will not yield a performance advantage over PC100 memory at 100MHz. |
