DDR2 667 (4:5) Performance
The incredible timings possible with new Micron DDR2 memory chips are well-illustrated in performance at DDR2-667. While the differences in performance compared to past DDR2 are not huge, all 3 DDR2-1000 parts are stable at 3-2-3 to 3-3-3 timings, and all three outperform other tested DDR2 2GB kits in every benchmark.

That is DDR2-533 is DDR2-533 on BOTH Intel and AMD.rallyhard - Friday, July 7, 2006 - link
Wow, that's some nice memory!Kinda makes me feel a little less rediculously proud of the Mushkin XP2 PC2-5300 2gb sticks that I'll possess tomorrow.
Oh well, at least I paid less than half the price of either of these!
And to the above poster: Get a life!

And since they were not tested on AM2, no point for me to consider any of them.ShoNuff - Friday, July 7, 2006 - link
