Do we have to make a topic for EVERY AMD article from the inquirer?

Personally I think this is the SOLID reason why AMD move to DDR2.

Do we have to have 10,000 posts about intel's conroe roxorz and amd suxorz from every intel fanboi out there?

Its no so much for the performance gain, DDR1 was gettin old etc so they moved up, and intel was forcing DDR out aswell so its a market move.

I thought the FSB/Bus speeds were always the bottleneck between CPUs and RAM. Didn't know was equivilent.... Odd... :?

And what would be next to the DDR2 when it's gonna be phased out? DDR3?

Reply to chuckshissle

To be honest since everyone says AMD doesnt have any bandwidth problems with DDR1 the best two reasons I can come up with is Marketing wich is both price (DDR2 is getting cheaper) and Mindset (DDR2 is newer then DD1 so DDR2 must be better) the other reason is that I think AMD will scale the A64 higher when they get to the 65nm node and it will be needed then ? or they plan on releasing something new to the AM2 socket that needs the bandwidth ?
