Hi all; Re incompatibilities in new DDR machines... Given the history of the electronics industry, I would guess that there will be stuff of this nature. The solution for the user is to not buy one of these DDR early machines unless you really, really, really, really, have to have the fastest machine around. So what do you do if you really do have to have the fastest thing around, but are worried about memory incompatibility? Pretty simple. Just buy the machine with the full memory already installed at the factory. In other words, try to avoid doing what the guy who bought the early SDRAM machine did. This basically means that early DDR machines are not going to be sold to the typical user. But this is not much different from the usual. Early adopters deal with this sort of thing. Personally, I won't buy a DDR machine until they've been out on the market for 6 months. But I'm not an "early adopter". Instead, I always buy machines that are 6 months out of date cause I like to save the bucks, and the performance is still way more than I need anyway. -- Carl
