FASTER Speed?

Hey- I just currious about the standard and how the market is running at 800Mhz FSB, 400Mhz RAM and 32bit transitioning to 64bit.

After all newer Prossesor can run at 2Ghz FSB when will we see newer motherboard running at that speed? Of course it's gonna be the top end of any product line but will we see any of these in the end of 05' year or mid 06'?

IS the market going to stick with the DDR2 or just jump to DDR3? DDR2 Motherboard were out but no-one really bought them since not many system or CPU utilizes it at such a high rate of speed untill now. Right now you could buy a Corsair XMS DDR2 8000(1Ghz) no MB support that monster at all... or is just me who ONLY know the simplest of finding anything by going to the manufacture website to see whats out...

I always thought you wanted your FSB to match the speed of the ram... SO if your FSB is 2Ghz you would match it at (PC8000) 1Ghz? or 800FSB you match it to (PC3200) 400Mhz then the rams multiply by 2? am I right or wrong I dunno >_<

.....Please, by all means, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty darn sure that DDR2 is, as far as Intel's concerned, the standard for memory. Also, from what I understand, with AMD's new socket (I believe it's called M2), they're setting their sights on DDR3, and skipping DDR2 entirely. I don't know about Intel's plans for the future, but I don't think they'll sit idle and content with DDR2. The market will always be evolving to better versions of what's available, and new technologies fresh off the forge, so to speak, so I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here...

As recommended previously, read CPU101 and RAM101; most of what I see in your post is answered in those guides. In fact, all that I see in your post is answered there...

Will if something is standard is probably more of a judgement call. And its not really intel call to make. The support for ddr on intel boards is more down to the chipset. Most top of the line modern boards are using ddr2

Not quite, but this is all romours so far. There where suggestions that amd would hold off on ddr2 untill the could develop ddr3, but latest roadmaps show thats not viable at the moment. These roadmap suggest ddr2 support on the M2 and not ddr3. Dont think amd can afford to sit on there hands and wait of ddr3. We may start seeing ddr3 in 2007, but its all speculation at this point.

AMD gonna be releasing more than just M2 ... but as far roadmapping with AMD, anything could happen hehe
 
Rumor has it that the latest 64 bit cores Venice, San Diego, Toledo, and Manchester already has support for DDR2 although AMD isn't fessing up. The latest AMD cores using DDR easily matches or surpasses the memory speed of an Intel Prescott using DDR2.

As far as a processor having a 2000 Mhz frontside bus I really doubt that any current single core that I know of can do that but if you're discusing an AMD 64 bit dual core then with each core having (5X200 for hyper transport) a 1000 mhz front side bus then I'll buy that.
