After a lucrative and fairly exciting couple of years, the memory market has hit its first flat period for some time. With DDR modules fast enough, cheap enough and available enough to not be generating any great surges in interest or demand, and DDR2 now losing its novelty value and settling in to a more steady pattern of sales, memory manufacturers are having to really dig deep in order to come up with anything noteworthy enough to generate a little extra revenue.
Dancing activity LED’s are yesterday’s news, shiny heat spreaders are almost par for the course and a desktop machines equipped with a minimum of a Gigabyte of RAM is pretty much par for the course. This leaves just two approaches to get us to spend; convince us we need more memory or convince us we need faster memory. This particular head-to-head panders to the latter of the two.
