Please refer to your own definition, continuing effectiveness. DDR2 does just that. It may only perform as good as DDR1, but it's not slower. Yes, it comes at a slightly higher price now, but when Intel's DDR2 boards become more mainstream and by the time NForce 4 is released, that price should come way down. So if DDR1 and DDR2 are close in price, and perform similarly, does it not then become a viable option? Let's do some thinking shall we.Go look up the word Viable; here since you didn't take the time to think about what you just posted I doubt you'll take the time to look it up, thus posting another anger induced spiel.
Viable: Capable of success or continuing effectiveness; practicable
DDR2 is none of that. It's over priced(obviously you're a spoiled child/man w/e, and disregard what the other 98% of consumers consider in their purchasing), It's not faster than DDR1. Did you know this?
I'm not talking about buying a cheap card now and then buying another cheap card in the future. I'm talking about buying a 6800 GT/Ultra now, and then later when the next generation of cards come out, you buy another 6800 GT/Ultra at a lower price, since it's a generation behind at the time. This will give you a HUGE boost in performance. And since the Doom3 engine will be used in several games in the future, this solution will definitely maximize performance for future games.Where did I say anywhere I can't afford it? Here this is what I said, since obviously you have trouble reading and gathering facts; "I don't have extra money to waste on SLI."
That means, it's a waste of money, you could rather save that and buy a good graphics card instead of opting for a cheap one in hopes of a later SLI sollution where you'd need a sufficient PSU and airflow/cooling.
SLI DEFINITELY isn't a waste so I'll have to assume you can't afford it, or your not willing to pay for it.
That's your problem. You think everone wants what YOU want. There are 3 different types of people that buy PCs:People wan't their computers now, and the best value they can get. Not everyone is as rich as you Jack.
1. Cheap ass buyers that want the absolute cheapest PC, period.
2. Budget minded consumers, that want the best bang for the buck.
3. All out consumer, where performance is the number one concern.
Anandtech members (enthusiasts) are mostly comprised of 2 and 3. Now what I'd like you to do is open your mind, and understand not every person that builds a PC has the same goal. Can you do that? I knew you could.
well put jack.. well put...
