AMD and DDR2

Fr3nzy · 07-29-2005, 07:36 PM

I'm just curious of DDR2 is supported by any of the AMD motherboards, thanks in advance.

As of now you will have to wait for Socket M2 for AMD DDR2. The CPU's themselfs don't have a DDR2 memory controller yet. At least that is what I gather from google....

thats correct. They only support ddr1 until socket m2 comes out.

any idea when that might come? thanks again

Next year, the only reason for the change is the price of ddr2 is now lower than ddr. There will be no performance gain for single core cpu's. Dual core remains to be seen.
