DDR II

[Guest]

When will DDR II comes out and how much would it cost?

By DDR II do you mean QDR? That's Quad Data Rate.

------------------------------
Apple? Macintosh? What are these strange words you speak?

I think but I read somewhere about the new DDR that is suppose to perform at 533Mhz.

maybe this time next year if we're lucky...

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

Don't know when it's out but will probably be much cheaper than RDRAM. You will also see it used on graphics cards before the system board.

Only the insane prosper.
Only those who prosper can judge what is sane.

Actually, if QDR comes next year, we can kiss graphics boards goodbye- imagine a GF3 GTS or Ultra GPU w/ 512 QDR memory- INSANE!!!!!!
Damnit, now I can't wait for QDR!

 

[Galvin]

Memory on the graphics board is faster because the tracelines to the GPU are shorter, you'll still have overhead if the graphics card has to access memory over the AGP bus.

Also be realsitic DDR II is more likely 2 years if not more away. Come on we just got ddr now, it will take a long time for it to get more used widely.

No, he's talking about DDR II- not QDR. DDR 2 is just higher clocked DDR SDRAM. QDR is something different all together.

Yeah, I noticed that in a news article I saw yesterday.

I didn't see a date for it coming out, though.

<A HREF="http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20000128S0063" target="_new">Here's</A> one about DDR II. Didn't read it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for.

Couldn't find anything on QDR. There were a lot of hits for some US defense project with that acronym
