    AMD64 and DDR2?

    I'm seeing all the new Intel PCI-E boards coming out with DDR2 slots, but all the AMD PCI-E boards coming out seem to stick with DDR.

    Which is good if you ask me because of the lower latency.

    Anyhow, still, are there any new 939 boards coming out with PCI-E and DDR2?

    Some time around 2006 the CPUs are going to support DDR2, maybe then...

    I don't know...a thread like this was started and someone has the theory that AMD would skip DDR2 completely and move on to what ever is next. But once DDR2 has time to muture it should be fine I would think

    They should go straight to DDR3 imho, they've got more then a year do to it, so it's plenty of time.

    DDR 2 and Socket 900 for Q2 2005
    Some good Asian friends send us words about AMD plans regarding DDR 2 and it could come out much sooner than expected. According to well informed OEM sources, AMD is already testing a 90nm SOI DDR2 version on socket 900 code named Toledo which will be followed, within a month or two, by dual-core DDR2 90nm chips Egypt, Italy and Denmark from the K9 family. Coupled with a massive 90nm ramp, AMD is undoubtedly planning to put a tremendous pressure on Intel during the coming months...
    ...only rumors after all
