Crucial just started offering DDR2 - it's expensive though $335 for 512MB, but if they have it the market will adjust downwardhere

I don't think anyone will see a gain till Intel hits 1200 FSB and above. Till then stick with Dual Channel 3200 with CAS 2.

The BTX form factor won't become standard until next year.

That's ok for the few of us that don't upgrade every 3 months!

i bet by the time intel gets ddr2 really in use, the dothan will be on the desktop running an 800 bus with dual ddr800 , on the 915 chipset, with 64bit support.


dothan and pentium 4 use the same bus protocols and can use the same chipsets. i think that is what id be waiting for.

This is NOT an upgrade to your current RAM. It will only work in boards tailored for it. No one mentioned this yet.

Module Size: 512MB
Package: 240-pin DIMM
