Also, more capacitors are not exactly equal to better CPU voltage, it depends
on where you put your capacitor (the layout). The most accurate way is to use
storage scope to measure the CPU voltage directly, but of course, it is difficult
for end user to do so. AOpen design team follows Intel, AMD and Cyrix's
design specification strictly, it is approved by Intel, AMD and Cyrix.
Q: What is PC 100 SDRAM?
A: It's apparent that traditional FPM and EDO DRAMs won't be able to work
properly under 100MHz system clock frequency. In order to fully support
100MHz or even above bus clock system, Intel provided PC SDRAM
Specifications to facilitate the development of SDRAM products. This is also
known as PC 100 SDRAM specification. For getting the best performance and
stability under 100MHz or above external clock, we strongly recommand you
use the Synchronous DRAMs which meet the PC 100 requirement. The PC
100 SDRAM that AOpen QA Team had tested are listed below.
