Slow Times for DDR333
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2002 | By: DennisOr so says this article. Part of the problem is package of the memory chips. Currently most DDR333 ('cept for Kingston) is TSOP and with 333MHz being close to its timing parameter maximum the production yield is low and memory makers are slow, if not reluctant, to retool the factory to a new format that is not considered a standard. Bottom line, they are cheap.

Corsair XMS PC2400 Review @ PC Stats
Published: Friday, January 18, 2002 | By: DennisI've been doing a little bit of research into Corsair memory lately and I'm finding that its not really not that different or special in compairson to other DDR vendors (cept for Kingston, I'm not a big fan). For instance the PC2400 stuff they sell is actually PC2700 but Corsair down clocked it so they could get the CAS 2.0 rating. Check it out

Soltek KT333 Motherboard SL-75DRV5 released
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2002 | By: DennisI got this press release last night from Soltek stating that they will be building another 75DRV series Athlon motherboard, this time based on the new DDR333 chipset from Via. The board will feature a wide variety of Soltek features including a "Purple Ray" PCB and Red Storm Overclocking in the bios. Soltek has yet to announce the release on their website, Most likely due in part to changing specs of the new motherboard.
Speaking of "Purple Ray" sometime next week the Ninjalane Labs will have the Soltek SL-75DRV4 motherboard that contains this feature, keep an eye out for that review. -

Corsair 333MHz XMS2700 DDR
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2002 | By: DennisI saw this memory posted on Corsair's website after I came back from vacation but didn't happen to pay attention to any of their press releases. The question is what makes this memory any different than the other PC2700 vendors? A CAS Latency of 2.0
. You can expect to see some of this memory around the Ninjalane Labs when we start our Pentium 4 reviews and system-building projects sometime next month. -
