Beamer - Re: "Don't care about the higher performance and lower power of DDR memory? Unlikely."

WHen MAD's AthWiper was launched for mobile applications, all the MADroids assumed it would use lower power DDR memory chips.

That was going to help the AthWiper KILL Intel in the mobile space, according the very knowledgeable MADroids !

When no chip sets with DDR support appeared for the mobile AThWIper, the Droids dropped all mention of this.

Now that Intel has introduced DDR memory chip sets for the mobile Pentium 4M, the revisionist MADroids now claim that this low power memory subsystem is not important in mobile applications !!

Dell doesn't think so !

"on't care about the higher performance and lower power of DDR memory?"

The most likely reason why there are no AMD DDR laptops out there, is that until recently, the cost for DDR was significantly higher than for SDRAM. Since the Compaq Evo is the first AMD-based laptop with any pretense of performance, cost was/is paramount.
