has it came out yet??
Ewwww, DDR3!
lol, I hope it's not as useless as DDR2...
When DDR2 came out, yes that was true. But now you can find high quality DDR2 800 which runs at CL3-4, which is almost the same as DDR 400.There is almost zero difference between Ddr1 and Ddr2 in most apps and games.Even benchmarks only show a performance difference with the most Ram sensitive programs.
It's only redeeming (and most important) features are it's ability to keep up with the newer faster chips (not really even noticeable), and that new boards only accept ddr2. I would just expect more out of a generation leap.
Can I get a motherboard that supports both DDR2 and DDR3, get a DDR2 for now and then upgrade to a DDR3 once it price cools down a bit?
Yup, there are a few P35/G33 boards out there that support board.Can I get a motherboard that supports both DDR2 and DDR3, get a DDR2 for now and then upgrade to a DDR3 once it price cools down a bit?

DDR3 on the other hand has much higher latencies since it's so new, but give it time and it will outperform DDR and DDR2.
her, I can run DDR2-667@ 2-3-3-4
how do yah like me now?
No more n' I did.
I can do the same with my ddr400.... Awww.
I have some D5's I believe they are called?
DDR500, can do DDR400@ 2-2-2-2
in my fiancee's rig now though... RIP Crucial Ballistix
Very nice timings. At least that's what I would say if they actaully made a difference.
Fiancee? Oh no. I feel for ya man..
