When it comes to PC components, newer is almost always better. But unlike processors or video cards, new PC memory technologies don't come along very often. Also known as random access memory or RAM ...

Well, it's now official; AMD has finally started to embrace DDR3 memory and it's about time. Intel has already got eight chipsets out that support DDR3 memory and the Core i7 is devoted solely to DDR3 ...

The emerging DDR3 memory standard will extend the performance range of DDR memories considerably, while maintaining some amount of backwards compatibility with the existing DDR2 memory standard. It is ...

Shopping for most kinds of computer hardware is easy. If you pay even basic attention to the industry you're not going to have too much trouble following individual trends and understanding the basic ...

A few days ago we reported we received our first batch of DDR3 memory modules. You can read that part here. This was reason enough to grab the MSI P35 Combo again and compare the DDR2 versus DDR3 ...

Review of the power-distribution design challenges of DDR3 Memory. Fig 1. In complex customer design applications, the memory, the I/O, the processor core voltage, and the FPGA power rails must be ...

DigiTimes reports prices of DDR3 memory chips may soon drop under the price of DDR2 chips. Spot pricing for 1Gb DDR2 chips has surpassed US$1.60, while 1Gb DDR3 prices are staying at range around US$1 ...

After a year where DDR2 memory prices hit absolute rock bottom (with 2GB DDR2 kits now available on the market for just over £30), it looks like they might actually be on their way up again.

The absolute need for speed is paramount for the enthusiast community. Nowhere is the drive for higher frequencies more visible than in the memory market. What's more, with system-based memory an ...

I bought a new PC, and all the parts arrived today! Awesome! Except the RAM. It hasn't even shipped yet and won't be here until Monday. In the meantime, would it be possible/advisable to use my old ...
