DAMN LOOKING @ AN OLD VID

[uphill248]

I would like to know about the 64 bit Edition, I will be ordering with my new PC. Im I going to have a problem playing games?

[TheArea510]

i heard ddr2 800mhz are same speed as the ddr3 1600 mhz?? is that true?

[pXXXbrainstwentyfree]

is that you stan wayne or is this jackinthebox?

dont get fooled computronix is a multi billion rip off industry/ market. reminds me of svalis statement of dx 10? like "shooter trainers". go look it up!

Yeah. To add to what you've said, DDR3 1066 @ 9-9-9-20 (or other horrible timings) vs DDR2 1066 @ 4-4-4-12 or better, they end up the same speed. When DDR3 hits those older awesome timing, then its worth it, and by then it will be just as cheap!

It's true about the price not to mention the performance. The first generation of a new memory platform really doesn't yeld that much of a performance increase over the lastest last generation memory platform. A prime example of that is DDR3 1066 vs DDR2 1066. Not to mention the first generation platforms that can take advantage of the new generation memory platforms can't take advantage of higher clock speeds from that new generation memory platform later on.
