Today’s Must Read Review:

Doc Overclock from motherboards.org has posted a really good article on DDR2 memory, if you have the time it is very informative and a good read.

As much as enthusiasts loathe the “slow” performance of DDR2 over standard DDR, nothing can stop DDR2 from taking over. Why do I say this? The reason is that DDR is coming to an end. Following the JEDEC standard, DDR can no longer scale any further in terms of non-overclocked frequency. The fastest chip was 5ns until Samsung released the TCCD that runs at 4ns. Although Samsung was able to advance further, DDR is reaching the light at the end of the tunnel. DDR2 is going to take over and has the ability to scale frequencies to outrageously high levels. Right off the bat, DDR2’s first announced frequency runs at 266MHz, which translates to PC2-4200. You’d have to buy overclocked memory in order for RAM to run at 266MHz. Next stop, companies found DDR2 to be capable of running PC2-5400 speeds without a problem.”
