DDR2 Capacity Continues to Increase

Kingston was displaying a full line of their latest Hyper-X DDR2 rated at DDR2-750. This included 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DIMMs - with matched pairs to 2GB.

Other memory vendors like Patriot, Kingmax, and PQI were displaying their latest official DDR2-800 or DDR2-667 modules. It seemed that everywhere we turned, there were faster DDR2 modules on display.

TwinMOS is better known to readers in Europe and Asia than to US buyers, but they are a huge player in the global memory market.

We were excited to see TwinMOS displaying 2GB ECC DDR2 modules. While the DIMMs are only rated at DDR2-533 currently, faster 2GB DIMMs will likely appear in the future. This means that you can finally pair the new dual-core processors with 8GB of DDR2 ECC memory in the 4 available DIMM slots. Those building servers supporting DDR2 will already be calculating capacities with these new reasonably-priced 2GB DIMMs.

    Thanks, I see.

    So carbon is a good electrical insulator, but also a good thermal conductor.

    good news to hear that abit is out of trouble

    but what the hell is going on with their guru clock?
    looks ugly as hell

    the 5.25" one in an older article (with the bios nuke button) was nice but not this new external one

    Correct about the diamonds.

    However, such little carbon is really not going to affect the thermals of the system. Besides, even if it transfers heat well, there still has to be surface area of the heat to dissapate.

    No. Carbon is an excellent conductor of heat. It's the reason why diamond is the best conductor of heat in the world - it is very densely-packed carbon..or something like that.

    Wouldn't the carbon fibre act as an insulator?

    well, personally i fancy the corsair led RAMs, but even MORE Important to me is the last pace MINI PC...

    ...i'm currently looking for a SILENT FANLESS PC; should be reasonably powered, can be a MINI PC, better if it has at least a 3 5'25" slots space so that i can put a 5 SATA bloc on it.

    anybody able to give directions ?

    =)

    THANKS

    500mhz@1w, windows ce... sounds awfully like the craptastic AMD PIC. Though I must admit, it looks a lot more interesting in a decent-looking box

    that red foxconn mini-system is an eyesore.

    How comes even though the Geil RAM is running at DDR2-1066, it's still only through-putting 2896MB/s - pretty low isn't it for such fast RAM (I'm aware of the timings, but still)...
