| Coyote Member Daylight Savings Time, is it really Necessary? 972 Posts 3/04 | I was under the impression that RDRam was the fasted RAM out there but I have seen DDR 2x (something like that) being sold with Dell Computers and was wondering if that is faster than RD? My tech terms may be a bit off but I hope I made sense..if not I'm in the wrong forum..lol. [Link] |

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99 | I hope that I see the day when IBM's new electron-spin memory technology is mass marketable. They sold off their entire hard drive design and manufacturing business based on the assumption that when they are able to manufacture the new technology cheaply magnetic media as we know it will be obsolete. |

With top-of-the-line motherboards and memory for both memory types, effective through-put for DDR SDRAM is now about 40% higher than for RD RAM. The only place where RD RAM still holds its own is with servers. Here the error detection and correction components as implemented in the current generation of DDR SDRAM hold it back, however, that bottleneck should be eliminated in the next cycle of ECC DDR SDRAM design. ~ GaySatyr |
