The Enhanced Memory Systems 64MB and 128MB CAS 2 150MHz HSDRAM DIMMs are the fastest unbuffered SDRAM DIMMs available. Low latency (2:3:2) at 150 MHz improves performance in high-end gaming, desktop publishing and graphics applications, particularly with UMA system architectures. The fast 4.5 ns clock access time allows unbuffered DIMM operation at 150 MHz for lower memory latency, and lower costs than registered DIMMs. The 64MB module (SM6408DT-6.6) is organized as 8Mx64, and the 128MB module (SM12808DT-6.6) is organized as 16Mx64. The 128MB ECC module (SM12809DT-6.6) is organized as 16Mx72. Each module contains a serial presence EEPROM programmed by Enhanced Memory Systems, which contains information on the module type, module organization, component speed, and other attributes relevant to the system controller.
Can overclockers push it to 200 MHz? We'll have to wait and see.
Its current price is $195.00. Download full specs, in pdf format, from the link below.

Submitted by [FOB]_Tweaky_ (not verified) onHow come any comp you buy in the store isn't fully optimized for speed? I had to change settings in system properties and use Winboost 2000 to get it to go as fast as my PII 350mhz comp. email me.

Submitted by crappycarp (not verified) onmy tyan board can take up to 155mhz bus speed and im sure companys will update bios for this new chip
PC150 Enhanced HSDRAM (128 mb)
Submitted by Akira (not verified) onwhats the chance that this ram is nothing more than a 133 ram that can be easily over clocked? Kinda like when people remarked the Pentiums and then overclocked them???????
PC150 Enhanced HSDRAM (128 mb)
Submitted by Psycho (not verified) onIntel apparent said that 133Mhz RAM runs slightly slower than 100Mhz ram - can anyone clarrify this?
PC150 Enhanced HSDRAM (128 mb)
Submitted by Uncle Pain (not verified) onThis new memory module is completely compatible to simple PC133 as well as to simple PC100 SDRAM modules. The only difference is that is is very overclockable (I also believe that 200MHz is no problem). In fact, this type of RAM is specially for overclockers.Also, just as JR already said, this RAM is not only for Athlon boards. Athlon boards ALSO run at 100MHz or 133MHz, but the Athlon CPU itself runs at (effectively) 200MHz - nothing else. The RAM runs at the same speeds as on Pentium mainboards, so these new DIMMs are usable for both Athlons and Pentiums.But I myself won't buy such a module. I rather wait for the new DDR-SDRAM technology which will offer double RAM speed for about the same price.To Psycho: No, this statement of Intel (really?) is definately false. PC133 IS faster than PC100, whatever Intel says. In the beginning of RDRAM, Intel also claimed that it was faster than SDRAM, but now Intel admits that RDRAM is slower in almost all applications.

Submitted by KolorBlind (not verified) onUmm....in my opinion, why try and go from PC133 to PC150 when RDRAM is at 800.Sure we're talking about cost efficiency here but going up little by little does nothing more than **** people off when their RAM keeps getting gradually out-dated.But oh well, I myself am stickin with PC100 till RDRAM goes down below $300 for 128mb.

Submitted by woowoo (not verified) onwhether its 1.13 or 900 if they stop cheezin on the cache then you would see a true performance increase but being that its so exspensive they'll just keep cheezin
