@ 2008/03/26Just as DDR2 went through a maturation process, DDR3 is finally
beginning to realize its promise. And with kits from the top contenders
already pushing the 2GHz barrier, those looking (and who can afford) to
make the jump from DDR2 to DDR3 are taking notice. Up to this point,
many scoffed at the idea of spending several hundred dollars
"upgrading" to a DDR3 based system, and for good reason. DDR2
compatible motherboards based on INTEL's P35 or NVIDIA's 680i have, for
the most part, served their masters well. Coupled with the retail
pricing landslide that's grabbed hold of DDR2 chips in recent months,
yesterday's builds have clung to life longer than many in the industry
could have predicted, or hoped.
