Nforce Ram

[sirwinston]

Newbie question ahead.
Will the upcoming Nforce mb's need different DDR then what is available now or will they be designed for PC2100 that is currently available?
Also I am going to build a new machine this fall and was wondering when it was supposed to be released (ball park figure)

Thanks

The nForce is compatible with standard PC2100 DDR SDRAM.

As for ballpark figures, I would think October would be the time to start seeing nForce motherboards.

Yeah, nForce just uses PC2100 DDR, but if u get a nForce 420 board, u will need 2 sticks of it in order to utalize the Twinbank architechure. The DIMM's don't need to be the same size (U can put a 256MB and a 128MB for example), but it is recommended for them to be the same size.

Thanks for the replies guys. It was the Twinbank architecture that was nagging at me and you answered it. (coudln't quite remember)
Now if Nvidia drops the prices on GF3's and this comes out on time . I finally may have timed a new computer purchased correctly!
