tgdaily.com — Micron is the second major DRAM manufacturer to announce sample shipments of next-generation DDR3 modules and claims to be the first company to ship 1 Gb devices with a capacity of up to 2 GB. DDR3 promises to double the speed of today's DDR2 memory and is expected to become available on high-end desktop computers in late 2007.

DDR2 is cheaper than DDR though, so you save money, sort of.

So what does "1 Gb devices with capacity up to 2 GB" mean? A 1 GB chip is actually a 2 GB chip?

Hell yeah they need to slow down. I like having memory, but dancing on that damn dance-pad thing gets tiring.

It has become even more of a gamble of "when's the right time to build a new machine?" Since RAM, Proc, Mobo, and PCI-E (if you don't have it yet) and you have to buy all new at the same time. And if you wait to long, you have a slow system. If you buy soon, opps you got ripped off and your friend just bought the same system for $200 less less than a month later.The hardware companies play this game well.

These would be designated for performance segment though.<a class="user" href="http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2006/09/28/intel_readies_yorkfield/">http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2006/09/28/intel_readies_yorkfield/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2551">http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2551</a>It should come by Q307, when Intel's 'native' quads come ;)
