Mobo using DDR2

[Anubis08]

I am just wondering if any boards support it yet or if we must wait for N 4 mobos with DDR2 and SLI support.

NForce4 won't necessarily support DDR2 (at least not out of the gate). The memory controller for the A64 chips is on the *CPU*. It will take at least a new core revision (and possibly a new socket) for the A64/Opteron to support DDR2, plus motherboards with the appropriate RAM sockets.

Not much reason for the A64 to go to DDR2 yet. Performance difference with the prescot is minor and A64's are less memory bandwidth dependant then P4's with the memory controller on the chip.

Yep, don't expect AMD to move to DDRII for awhile.
