The various members of Sharky Extreme's hardware staff have been covering the progression of DRAM in PCs for a long time now, virtually since the original home models became available 20 years ago. During that time we've seen endless variants of ram types and formats, up to today's quest for speeds beyond a sustained level of 133MHz.



Today we're reviewing the fastest SDRAM that money can currently buy for a desktop PC.

Manufactured by a company based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this particular SDRAM is actually called HSDRAM or "High-speed Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory" due to its amazing specifications and speed tolerance limits.

The basis for the future of SDRAM may lie in the form of a product like the HSDRAM we're evaluating here, and if this early prototype DIMM is any indication of what lies ahead, we have a lot to look forward to.

HSDRAM was conceptualized and developed by a very technology-savvy company known as Enhanced Memory Systems.

By taking new techniques and applying them to proven methods, Enhanced Memory Systems (EMH for short) has created a desktop PC compatible SDRAM format that's capable of sustaining speeds that are much higher than the current PC-100 SDRAM we're all used to does.

To maintain such a high level of frequency requires a strong degree of manufacturing consistency and engineering, and EMH has designed their PC-133 HSDRAM from the ground up to withstand the pressures of the increased loads.
