Second-Gen DDR SDRAM On The Horizon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hardware-i-wann-ahandle dept.

cplcap writes "This story in The Register picks up on Samsung's new DDR-II Chips, pushing DDR's speed up to 533 Mb/s and a 4.2GB/s memory bus. Prototype 512MB DIMMs are being produced, and IBM has developed a chipset to take advantage of the speed. There's a little more meat in Samsung's official press release."

    Hell, it makes you feel old when 512Mb is being bandied around as the standard memory size. I remember getting all excited about a 512k(!!) trapdoor expansion for my Amiga, for which I paid 100 quid for.

    Oh yeah, and this whole website was fields back then... far as the eye could see. ;)
