I am in the process of building an AMD system to replace my P4 3.0C system and I was just curious as to why AMD processors do not support intermediate memory speeds such as 533 and 667.
I know that with AM2 there is now support for DDR2 800, but I don't know why their memory controllers are not upgraded like Intel's to meet new memory speeds more regularly.
What can you tell me?
System (in the works)
AMD 64 3700+ (to replace P4 3.0C 800 FSB)
DFI UT nf4 Ultra-D (to replace Abit IS-7)
2x 512 Corsair Value PC3200
Thermaltake Venus 12 (to replace Coolermaster)
WD SATA 3.0 80 GB
Audigy 2 ZS
2.1 Audio
NEC DVD+-R
