Like Crucial, Kingston waited for JEDEC to approve a DDR333 standard before they started selling DDR333 memory. Why is that? Company A can claim to sell DDR333 memory but that memory may not pass Company B's DDR333 tests. Now with an official standard, all memory modules have to pass the same tests to carry the official DDR333 or PC2700 stamp.

Looking at the DIMM we can see it is single sided, quite a rarity for 256MB DIMMs. The 256MB PC2700 ValueRAM uses 6ns Winbond DRAM and has a CAS Latency of 2.5 at 166 MHz operations. Since the DRAM is based on the TSOP-II form factor we would have liked to see some RAMsinks on the DRAM because it can reach elevated temperatures at high speeds.
