AMD's Socket AM2 to support DDR2 800MHz Memory

Upset that AMD is moving over to DDR2 memory because it's slower? I bet you didn't know that AMD would be running DDR2 800MHz from the start! I think now is a good time to go read my 7-way DDR2 800MHz Roundup!

AMD eventually decided that it can and will support DDR 2 800 MHz from the outset. Now the migration to DDR 2 finally makes sense, as DDR 2 800 MHz can sure show sume difference compared with DDR 1 400 or even DDR 1 overclocked to 667. It will simply offer more bandwidth and knowing that AMD places its memory controllers on the CPU it also means that it will show a bigger difference than Intel's DDR 2 capable chipsets.
