Viking Value PC100 64MB SDRAM DIMM PC100-222-620 PC1008X64CL2 Desktop Memory

Viking Value PC100 64MB SDRAM DIMM PC100-222-620 PC1008X64CL2 Desktop Memory

The Viking Value PC100-222-620 is a 64MB, 100 MHz SDRAM DIMM manufactured by Viking for use in PC100-compliant desktop systems. Labeled "PC1008X64CL2", this 168-pin unbuffered module is configured as 8Mx64 with CAS Latency 2 (CL2), the tighter and more desirable latency rating within the PC100 specification. It was produced under Viking's Value line, manufactured in Korea, and carries the PC100 compliance certification on its label.

Applications

PC100 SDRAM DIMMs like this Viking Value module were the standard desktop memory format from the late 1990s through the early 2000s, introduced alongside Intel's 440BX and related chipsets to support 100 MHz front-side bus platforms. They were used in systems built around Pentium II, Pentium III, and AMD K6-2/K6-3 processors. The 168-pin DIMM form factor and PC100 specification were a major step forward from the earlier EDO and FPM DRAM standards, offering synchronous operation tied to the system bus clock. Today these modules are sought primarily for maintaining, restoring, or upgrading period-correct late-1990s desktop computers, including vintage workstations and enthusiast builds of that era. CL2 modules are generally preferred over CL3 for the slightly tighter timing and marginal performance benefit at 100 MHz.
