DDR2 memory has been on the market for only a few years and we have seen some very high clock speeds from this technology - much more than was originally planned. The reason for that is because DDR1 stuck around for longer than anticipated. In order to keep up, DDR2 had to be pushed to its absolute limits, which is what we are seeing in the market today. DDR3 will start to make its way into the systems of enthusiasts in the not-so-distant future and eventually overtake the market much like DDR2 has done. But, if we learned anything from the jump to DDR2, its that the process doesn't happen overnight. First, chipsets will need to be created and implemented in new motherboards to support DDR3. Also, as was the case with early DDR2 modules, latencies will more than likely be high, as will the price tag. For now, DDR2 is still the king and that is what we will focus on here today with OCZ's 2 GB PC2-6400 Reaper Enhanced Bandwidth Edition DDR2.
