Rumor: AMD Socket AM2 might support DDR 3
By
AMD fans will love to hear that the upcoming Socket AM2 platforms may support DDR3 memory if there is no socket change. Since the JEDEC council sets the standards the ultimate say is up to them and not AMD.
There is a big indication that DDR 3 ram modules might be identical to DDR 2 ones. So there is a big chance that you will be able to plug the new memory in the old slots. Still knowing how the industry goes we could expect that there might be either the new chipset revision or more likely socket AM2 tweak or re-spin to make the support. We know that chipset doesn?t have to do anything with the memory but Nvidia did introduce MCP 55 a new chipset that will support DDR 2 capable socket AM2.
