Corsair XMS3500C2

Na klingt ja ganz nett - trotzt der RAS Timings!


Fremont, CA, October 3, 2002: Corsair Memory, Inc., an industry leader in
ultra-performance DDR DRAM modules for gaming and overclocking applications,
has announced that it is now offering two new eXtreme Memory Speed ("XMS")
modules tailored specifically for ultra-performance computing enthusiasts. The
first part, Corsair part number CMX512-3500C2, is a 512 MByte module guaranteed
to operate at 434 MHz with a Column Access Strobe ("CAS") latency of just two
cycles. The second part, part number CMX256A-3500C2, is a 256 MByte DDR DIMM
with the same performance specifications.

"The performance of these modules on KT400-based motherboards is truly
amazing," stated Robert Pearce, Applications Specialist at Corsair. "This
module is certainly the fastest thing we have ever evaluated in the lab, either
from ourselves or from any other supplier."

Each XMS3500 module is tested in a test fixture based on the Asus A7V8X
motherboard. This board is based on the KT400 chip set from Via Technology. The
testing rig is set to exhaustively exercise the memory at the following
settings:

Memory bus speed: 2x217 MHz
CAS latency: 2.0 clock cycles
RAS precharge: 4 cycles
RAS-to-CAS delay: 4 cycles
RAS active to precharge: 8 cycles
Command rate: 1T (1 cycle)
Population: 1 module/system

The CMX256A-3500C2 is built using the same 32Mx8 DDR SDRAM components as the
CMX512-3500C2. These 5 nanosecond RAMs have been carefully screened to meet
these demanding performance requirements. The modules have been extensively
qualified in motherboards based on the Via KT400 chip set.

The modules are shipped with a pre-installed aluminum heat spreader, which is
available in either a black or a platinum finish. Details on Corsair's XMS
qualification and testing can be found on Corsair's web site, at http://www.
corsairmemory.com/main/tech.htm.

Both modules are available immediately.
