DDR-2 is going to have a rough time on the market. It might be one of the most short-lived memories introduced, besides BEDO. ;)It's roughly 50% more and it offers absolutely nothing except perhaps a [b]loss[/b] in performance.. For right now, anyhow. The reason being DDR-1 actually offers [i]faster[/i] speeds than DDR-2 will offer upon its introduction.Of course, the immediate plus to DDR-2 will be the ability to have more than 2 modules of memory running at PC-3200 speeds or better. That is currently not possible (or practical, at least) with DDR-1. The reason for this is probably because of signal noise, which tends to be a result of pushing an "aging" technology to the limits. DDR-2 will be more flexible in this respect and I'm sure we will all appreciate the ability to use 3 or 4 modules at a time again.And of course, once DDR-2 matures, it will certainly be faster. I'm afraid by that time, DDR-3 might be out though. ;)It's not cost effective and doesn't bring much to the table right now, but I'm sure it will hit the niche market pretty hard and perhaps make a nice marketing gimmick until it matures. :) |
