DDR-III will require new motherboards
 

Computex 2006 New everything in 2007

IT SEEMS THAT both Intel and AMD will target enthusiast users with gaming CPUs that will support DDR-III memory.


A second territory where DDR-III will take off as a standard is the world of FB-DIMM memory, where the main performance impact and power savings will come with the 1.5V, 1.06GHz working memory.

The best thing is: both DDR-II and DDR-III are set to be installed in 240-pin DIMMs.

Sadly, on the back of Vista, of course, 2007 will bring only one thing: new motherboards, new CPUs, new memory. And new case fans, speakers and screen too, why not? With luck, a user that buys a DDR-III memory-equipped PC won't have to change the motherboard until 2009.
