In Reply to: Kingmax DDR333 review over at overclockers.com.au...MS - any thoughts? posted by Celstk855

You'll have to wait for MS for comments on the actual module quality, but IMO that review leaves much to be desired.

P1 -- I have nothing against providing background information, but that reads like a press release.

P2 -- The table has a couple glitches, first, 4ns isn't 400MHz, it's 250 (f=1/T; f=1/4E-9 = 250E6), and JEDEC doesn't "guarantee" Kinmax's modules, it just means Kingmax is adhering to the JEDEC standard. But I digress.

P3 -- BIOS settings? Bus speed settings? Methodology? You can't run two memory modules at the same settings and get variances outside the margin of error. It appears that they were able to get a higher overclock out of some of the tested parts, but they don't bother to disclose what or how.

P4 -- Do these "editor's choice" awards have any real meaning?

I hope that doesn't sound hopelessly cyncical, it's not just TweakTown -- these "memory reviews" are, in general, getting increasingly sloppy
