What is PC100?
| 100MHz SDRAM |
|
A computer industry designation for a special type of SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) designed for use in computers with a 100 MHz bus. If a system includes a motherboard designated as 'Super7' or 'BX,' be sure that includes PC100 SDRAM (or faster) for maximum reliability and performance. In roughly the middle of 1998, Intel introduced the BX chip set to their motherboard designs. One element in this new architecture included an increase in the PC main memory bus speed (Host bus) from 66 to 100 MHz, called PC100. To match the 100MHz bus speed, 100MHz SDRAM modules are used. These modules are often referred to as PC100 compliant. |
