It looks like AMD is very busy sharpening the knife that'll cut Intel's throat.

WE ALL expected that AMD planned to support DDR 2 400, 533 and 667 but very few of us expected that the firm plans to include DDR 2 800 MHz on its list. Before February, the plan was to support all memories up to DDR 667 but AMD eventually decided that it can and will support DDR 2 800 MHz from the outset. Now the migration to DDR 2 finally makes sense, as DDR 2 800 MHz can sure show sume difference compared with DDR 1 400 or even DDR 1 overclocked to 667

939ers! Get ready to throw away your beautiful DDR memories (yeah I am talking about those ones with low CAS and all other cool features).


,,
 
Or sell it to me.
I'll be sticking to 939 regardless for at least another year. I could use some faster RAM ... especially if I can get it cheap. 😀
 
this makes me happy, now i want to upgrade to am2. i was starting to veere twords a new intel processors but the netburst architecture was outdated, hopefully well see intel deal with this in their new chips, but i dont how they will compare to am2's running 800mhz ddr2 memory,we will see soon...
 
lolz 😛 it seems that way, and as for u people saying intel will have ddr3 next year and amd is taking baby steps, this is why i relate amd and ati, because ati like amd doesnt switch to the newest tech's the second they come out, they wait for them to be tested and cheaper to produce... if amd is ontop with ddr while intel has ddr2 what makes u think intel will be on top with ddr3 which will be new and unstable with shit timings, compared to ddr2 which will be fast with lower latencys, amd doesnt even need to switch to ddr2, there only doing it for lower voltages, ddr is still good stuff, or as far as i know it is... amd2 probably wont be incredably fast when it first comes out, but what do u expect? they switch to faster memory and the processor speed doubles? no, theyll release the slower ones to kinda get a feel for the new socket so they can really test it, theres no sense in throwing a 4ghz dual core amd for there first processor, i believe they have a good plan in switching to ddr2 so they can use lower voltages and get overall better perforance/heat/voltage ratios... probably better than intels conroe
 
AMD be laughed at if they won't support DDR2 800. It's been a while this board and other similar ones are out. Why do people hooray for baby steps of AMD towards AM2?!

Because DDR2-800 is not yet approved by JEDEC. All AMD is doing is being future-proof once DDR2-800 becomes a standard.
 
I never said Intel will be on top with DDR3, I just said it's soon to come. I myself am going to have a difficult choice in the next 8-10 months, having to choose between the latest Intel and AMD processor.
 
Funny how Intel goes to DDR2 and the fanboi's bitch and moan about how much of a bad idea that is and so on...
But when Intel is gearing up for DDR3, and AMD is going to DDR2, the fanbois are praising DDR2 as leveraging AMD to push this technology to its limits and show its stuff once bugs are worked out...
The funny thing is, that the fanbois want future proof, so are waiting for M2 and DDR2, but the future Vista is reportedly stated to work best on DDR3, which is what Intel is going to while AMD is going for the legacy DDR2...
 
u called me a fanboy im touched :)... i guess u could say i favor amd but i dont consider myself a fanboy, i just think intel is like nvidia, they tend to rush into new technologies and pull ahead but amd/ati catch up by using a better technique in using the newer techs... i hope u understand what im saying cause the words just arnt comming to me right now 🙁

It should also be pointed out that while Intel are making a big effort to cool their CPU's down, AMD's seem to be gradually getting hotter. But that's OK because everyone knows that having a hot CPU is good because it saves you on your heating bills in winter. Or at least that's what an AMD fanboy once said :wink:

put a smile on my fat face :lol:
 
STOP

stop saying which cpus are better and why, sure amds cause more heat, but intels dont offer as much gaming performance, yadda yadda yadda

IM TIRED OF THIS
Intel and amd are commercial rivals, one company innovates the other follows and trys harder thats how it wors has worked and will work, AND WE BENIFIT WITH LOWER PRICES AND LARGER PERFORMANCE

STOP WHINING YOU NINNYS
 
Why don't you jerks actually post something worthwhile rather than stupid fanboy crap :roll:

In a couple of years time IF Intel has the performance lead you'll be posting the same crap about AMD :roll:

Also it should be pointed out that gaming performance is not everything.

Get a life.....
 
get laid ok man i only post here because of my past!

I have a girlfriend thanks :)

So what you're saying is that you don't actually want to contribute to the thread and that you just want to spew anti-Intel crap? :?:

On another forum use you'd banned for posting rubbish like you do here.

Remember the Netbusr architecture is pretty much phased out, and Conroe won't be based on it.
 
man have u guys seen the prices of ddr2 800 with 2 x 1gb. ranges from $258 to $450... that is expensive.. i hope they are cheap by the time am2 comes out.
