Macrotron Announces the Development of PC133 SDRAM DIMMs

Macrotron Systems, Inc. is an ISO 9002 registered manufacturer of
memory modules located in Silicon Valley. Production has co-
menced on the PC133 SDRAM module while the PC100 continues
to be supported. The next generation will utilize 256MB SDRAMs to
increase module capacity to 512MB while reducing the module
height. Macrotron also supplies a wide variety of custom modules
for special applications.

Fremont, CA. - April 30, 1999 - Macrotron Systems, Inc., a world class, ISO 9002 registered, privately held Engineering Services Company with Design, Assembly and Test facilities in Fremont announced today that it has developed PC133 SDRAM DIMMs. This is a natural extension from its popular PC66 and PC100 products. The PC133 DIMMs conform to Intel's registered PC SDRAM DIMM and JEDEC SDRAM DIMM specifications. The upgrade from PC100 to PC133 offers an improvement in performance, while maintaining the same form factor, making the transition evolutionary. The efficiencies gained from producing and testing the PC66 and PC100 can be utilized on the PC133 making it cost effective from introduction. Macrotron will utilize its existing multiple Schlumberger S-90 memory test systems for both qualification and production test ensuring consistency between samples and production quantities, stated Gordon Ting, Vice President of Engineering. Both parametric and functional tests will be performed to guarantee 133MHz-bus speed and compatibility of the Macrotron PC133 DIMMs with the Intel Pentium II processor. Macrotron's PC133 DIMMs are available in 64MB, 128MB and 256MB using the widely available SDRAM devices.

The single data rate PC133 modules will be upgraded to the faster double data rate (DDR) version later this year.
