|DDR2 and DDR (11:05am EST Wed Mar 09 2005)
I fail to see why Intel uses DDR2. I know it has more bandwidth, but it runs hotter and is less efficient than the current DDR3200 models. In my mind, it would be wiser to just hold out for either a faster DDR or DDR2 variant or wait for DDR3 to becomes more readily available and supported by processor makers. From what see, DDR3 is supposed to be more efficient, runs cooler, and has a higher bandwidth that DDR2.
I know if I were a processor maker, I would wait for technlogy to improve before moving forward with support for new memory. – by Chronos

DDR3 intro is 800MHz. That's same as top speed DDR2. Assuming it will also have higher latency. So it will end up same as DDR to DDR2 transition. Could be worse since it may turn out harder to increase the speed. DDR2 is 1.8V and DDR is 2.5V. DDR2-667 uses less power than DDR400. It uses less power and its suitable for laptops you got it wrong.

Yes and how long? DDR3? DDR4? DDR5? Maybe Rambus XDR? – by IntelUser

our new video cards using G-DDR3 and are at the wounderful 2.5 speeds.. DDR2.. is so freaking slow dew to its heat i beleave.. Kinda like Intel :D… just think water cooling and DDR2 will work..
Well.. Nvm… wait till DDR3
