More on "PC3000" Memory Modules. [04/22/2002 09:29 PM]
by Anna Filatova
I have recently noticed that some Japanese hardware retail stores started selling memory, which can be called "PC3000" (i.e. with the maximum bandwidth of 3GB/sec or something like that). However, if Corsair memory modules are sold as "CMX256A-3000C2" (see this news story), then the similar solution from OCZ Technology bear a proud marking of "PC-3000".

This way the memory module makers can create an incredible mess in the market: how can you then explain to the users that DDR400 is faster than PC-3000 and that PC2700 is a generally adopted industrial standard, while PC-3000 has been invented by the memory module makers and will never become a standard?

Now that we have criticized everything a little bit, let’s mention the pricing issue. The memory module from Corsair costs around $170, while its brother by OCZ Technology – around $130 (note that the frequency and timing features of both are the same, of course).
