For this roundup we took a look at a total of 8 new PC133 SDRAM chips and tossed in an old contender in order to give you all a point of reference. The candidates are: Corsair PC133 using Infineon chips, Corsair PC133 using Toshiba chips, Memman PC133 using Infineon chips, Memman PC133 using Mosel Vitalic chips, Mushkin Budget PC133 using Nanya chips, Mushkin High Performance PC133 using Mosel Vitalic chips (2 revisions), Mushkin High Performance PC133 using NEC chips, and for a point of reference we tossed in a Samsung Original module using their -GA chips which was Samsung’s first SDRAM chip rated at 133MHz.
All of the modules tested were 128MB modules, except for Mushkin's NEC module which was a 256MB part.
The only note that needs to be made is that during the testing period Mushkin supplied us with a new revision of their High Performance PC133 SDRAM using the Mosel Vitalic chips, this revision we called revision 2.0 in order to separate it from the similar looking earlier revision. The only difference between the two seems to be that the newer revision has more fine tuned traces since it did turn out to be a better performing module.
