The Inq
found out that AMD's upcoming Socket AM2 will feature support for DDR2 800MHz memory.
Before February, the plan was to support all memories up to DDR 667 but AMD eventually decided that it can and will support DDR 2 800 MHz from the outset. Now the migration to DDR 2 finally makes sense, as DDR 2 800 MHz can sure show some difference compared with DDR 1 400 or even DDR 1 overclocked to 667.
It will simply offer more bandwidth and knowing that AMD places its memory controllers on the CPU it also means that it will show a bigger difference than Intel's DDR 2 capable chipsets.
