 |
|
Ok. I'm looking at a few mobos for a new system (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thundern4250qe.html and http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8qe.html), and with little knowledge of the diffrences in RAM, what are the pros and cons of either DDR or DDR2?
I've so far seen it seems DDR2 is faster, but I remember hearing somewhere they handle things diffrently, so which what are the kinds of factors going into this kind of thing?

the motherboards work with different chips as well as ram
Thunder n4250QE (S4985)
Four 1207-pin sockets support AMD Opteron
(Rev. F) 8000 series processors
more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_F
Thunder K8QE (S4885) Datasheet
Quad µPGA 940-pin ZIF sockets
more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_940
If your budget can stretch for the Thunder n4250QE (S4985), i would invest in that. |

I was thinking the same thing. Before I decide, I'm going to have to do some figuring to make sure everything I want will work (no ATI cards will be in this. I want nVidia).
Need to find a retailer, too

I liked this article at Tom's Hardware. It's about AMD's AM2 socketed processors, but it also goes into DDR2 memory and some things to consider when pairing a processor and DDR2 memory speed.
