Tenchusatsu, re:<I thought they were calling them PC-1600 and PC-2100. At least that what appeared in AMD's foils when they announced future DDR support.> Good question. As far as the DDRs are concerned, PC200 and PC266 are same as PC-1600 and PC-2100 respectively. The new names (PC1600, PC2100) are coined to reflect the peak data bandwidth of DDR dimms. I view PC200 and PC266 as DDR devices and PC-1600 and PC-2100 as 64bit DDR dimms. Here is a link to a very informative post on this subject (credit to: CL, JC's msg board) jc-news.com __________ PC266 was the original spec for 133DDR; when the spec was finalized and the marketing guys realized that intel was calling rambus PC800, the name was changed to PC2100 for its 2.1Gb/s peak transfer rate. Here is the ZINGER, PC2100 can OPTIONALLY have Virtual Channels, like the VC133 RAM NEC evangilizes. It was added into the spec last minute as a method of reducing some latencies. How many DDR manufacturers will implement this and whether chipsets support it is another matter. I think it would make a great combo for High bandwidth with shorter latencies.
