Ekid, DDR offers lower power, and elevated performance on certain applications. As SSE data prefetching becomes a standard part of compilers, and as clock rates increase, high bandwidth DRAM will become increasingly important to performance. Scumbria

It is a ridiculous proposition by Scumbria at best. <LOL> Is DDR to be the next memory standard that Micron loses money on? If DDR has no advantages and costs the same. It follows that it will be priced the same as Sdram and will be bad business. In addition, it does not address the requirement for a "scalable system solution" to the ever increasing bandwidth requirements of the the new processor and I/O susbsytems. Intel has stated that DDR266 does not work even on paper at the IDF.
