Quote:With the sheer quantity of high-speed DDR memory modules available right now, one would be forgiven for thinking that JEDEC, the body governing the standards of this industry, had set the memory speed limit much higher than the 'PC3200' standard. It hasn't actually. This void has created an interesting question; since there is no standard for memory manufacturers to adhere to past PC3200, should manufacturers begin making platform specific high-speed memory? For the most part, the majority of Intels' current chipsets are DDR-2 only. Faced with a drop in demand from the absence of Intel-based customers, memory manufacturers have begun 'performance tuning' DDR memory modules for specific AMD platforms. The recent explosion of memory modules built with Winbond "UTT" (Untested) DRAM is a good indication of where things are headed, and that there is still plenty of life in the DDR market.
