DDR2 - what's all the fuss about?
With so much emphasis placed on processors, memory chips often get overlooked as an integral component of system performance. DRAM (dynamic RAM) vendors will start the transition to a new memory architecture this year that will allow chips to run faster in gaming and multimedia PCs. [link=http://www.pcworld.com]PCWorld[/link] takes a look at the new technology.
[blockquote]DDR2 memory improves the signal quality of data transmissions traveling within a PC, says Dean McCarron, principal analyst with Mercury Research in Cave Creek, Arizona. Memory chips based on the older architecture could not run much faster than the current speeds without suffering a marked decline in signal quality, he says.[/blockquote]
