DDR3 RAM Explained
Das Capitolin sends us to Benchmark Reviews for an in-depth feature on DDR3 memory that begins: "These are uncertain financial times we live in today, and the rise and fall of our economy has had [a] direct [effect] on consumer spending. It has already been one full year now that DDR3 has been patiently waiting for the enthusiast community to give it proper consideration, yet [its] success is still undermined by misconceptions and high price. Benchmark Reviews has been testing DDR3 more actively than anyone. ... Sadly, it might take an article like this to open the eyes of my fellow hardware enthusiast[s] and overclocker[s], because it seems like DDR3 is the technology nobody wants [badly] enough to learn about. Pity, because overclocking is what it's all about."
WTF, why is everything on slashdot tagged as a hardhack? Maybe all that is left are the general equivalent to script-kiddies, waiting for someone two write an .msi they can run and it will do it for them. What has happened to the hacker mentality? I'm not talking about the illegal hacker, but the real hacker who can figure things out on their own? I have seen so many basic things labelled as a hard hack, I guess this was just the one that pushed me over the edge!
