Why is that anyway? It seems that most newegg searches pull up really fast DDR2 memory for less than some highend PC3200. Why would some new iteration like this be cheaper than the old stuff? I figured it would make DDR1 prices go way down and that would be the end of it but I guess not. Can someone shed some light on this.
So that's how they keep the prices down? Makes sence then, that's why DDR2 doesn't look very appealing, you'd think they'd come up with low latency stuff. It's always like 4-4-4-10 or worse. But I guess when you run it at over 800Mhz it gets pretty tough.
Yea, its a tradeoff between clock speed and latency. I think AMD systems are more sensitive to latencies than Intel.
amd plans to respin the memory die to include ddr2 once the technology gets a clear speed boost over ddr, so far its not really worth it, but in the next year or two, ddr2 will take over ddr
To enable DDR2 support, they're going to need more pins, so socket M2 is here for that. Its another one of the changes brought by the Revision F dual core.
All depends on whether DDR3 or XDR technologies are mature enough, and also whether memory manufacturers are prepared to make new modules for a company that has around 20% of market share.
Yeah that's true, 20%! Jeeze it's seems like everyone on the forums I've been on is pro AMD, but then agian most Dell 2400 users don't join forums...
anyone who likes intel is either 1) A manufactured computer fan 2) loves to encode hours and hours of hi-def movies for fun 3) doesn't know what they're talking about AMD ! I think I'll stick with my ddr. I love ddr.
