SerpentRoyal, you are confusing technological advance with Fabbing.

DDR3 @ 78nm (Micron D9GTR) is still faster than DDR2 @ 78nm (D9NHL) or even Samsung 50nm DDR2.

There is also still large money being put into R & D for DDR2.

AMD does not have a DDR3 ready product anytime soon and FBDIMMs still generate huge sales. FBDIMM's are not looking to be DDR3 until 2009.

Also, quick question Serpent, have you been banned under any names on this forum besides furballi, or only the one?

Good point, now let me tell you more about my Kingston N5's......j/k

Over the span of DDR and DDR2 technology, Drakelet, there has been more than one maker of "black parts" with highly desireable characteristics for either over-clocking or "tweaking." For instance, Aeneon made some good chips that were used in some OCZ DDR modules. The modules had extremely tight rated latencies, and you could over-clock them as much as 20% without exceeding the warranty voltage limit or loosening the timings.

The Micron D9 parts get rave notice everywhere. Several memory makers use -- or have used the D9's to make their memory modules. [And somewhere -- not easily accessed in a quick moment though, I have a link to a comprehensive listing of modules which use various incarnations of D9 modules.]

But unless we can be sure that the memory model in the list for, say, Patriot DDR2-800 or Corsair DDR2-1000 uses the D9 parts, it is much more troublesome to be absolutely sure.

That's why buying the Crucial sticks for an extra few dollars has an advantage, since, as someone said, Crucial is Micron's retail arm. They're the same company. They even advertise the fact that you "know what you're getting."

OK, thanks Bonzai.
