AMD SLI Motherboard with DDR2?

[Raeldor]

Does this exist yet? Will it exist?

No it doesn't.

Why do you want DDR2? It's currently slower than decent DDR. The latencies it runs at is really bad.

 

[Raeldor]

Really? I heard that DDR2 memory was getting a lot better now, and that the fact it runs at a slower speed means it can be overclocked more?

DDR2 is bandwidth mainly, A64s work better with low latency ram anyhow.

From what I hear, DDR3 will be high bandwith and low latency. This is being pushed hard by AMD so it is very very likely that it's the next type of RAM to be used on AMD systems. AMD's new socket won't be out till 2006 and it's likely that JEDEC will ratify the DDR3 spec by year's end. Seems much more plausible than using DDR2 which would give worse performance on AMD64's than DDR1 would due to the higher latency.
