The Competition
What will we compare this stick of RAM to? We will compare it to two other sticks of RAM, a generic "PC2700" stick of RAM and the Corsair PC2700 C2 RAM reviewed previously. First lets look quickly at these two sticks of RAM.

The generic 256MB stick of RAM has memory made by Nanya, with a part number of NT5DS16M8AT-6 (). This memory has a maximum setting of CAS 2.5 at 166MHz. The Corsair memory is a 256MB stick with the part number CM64SD256-2700, which corresponds to a CAS-2 part found . The RAM chips are Micron 6ns TSOP DDR chips found . These chips are stated to reach PC2700 JEDEC specs of 2.5/3/3 at 166MHz (333MHz DDR). Can the XMS memory perform better than these two competitors. First lets look at the test setup.
