Why do some SDRAM modules test faster than others even though they are the same size, and why does the PAGE BURST (red) LED flash on some modules and not on others?
A. Some SDRAM modules employ a FULL PAGE BURST feature. SIMCHECK II takes advantage of this feature found in some SDRAM components and uses it to test the modules at a faster rate (shortening the overall test time). The Page Burst LED (red) will flash vigorously throughout the test if the module employs this feature. Please note, however, that a full page burst is not a requirement for PC100 or PC133 compliance. Also, those modules having such a feature will not have an advantage in systems over those not employing this Page Burst characteristic.
