Review: Neoseeker
______________
With AMD discontinuing Socket 939 processors, and Socket 754 also soon to be discontinued, DDR memory is essentially dead - except for a small upgrade market.

DDR3 memory is at least six months to a year away from the general market, so for the near future everyone will be focusing on DDR2... and frankly, all of the major players have already been focusing on DDR2 for quite a while. DDR2 has grown far beyond the official JDEC specifications, as a matter of fact, today's PC8000 and higher DDR2 memories are providing speeds that were not envisioned.
