DDR for the Rest of Us

Don't you just love the way that the computer industry seems to come up with ways to make us upgrade overnight? Well, it's actually taken a little longer with DDR2, but the question remains whether or not it will be worth the wait. The DDR2 Standard was developed by the JEDEC (Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council), comprising engineers from the major corporations like AMD, Intel, Micron, and Corsair. These engineers meet to develop new standards for the industry every so often. Once a standard has been completed and documented, it is adopted by the industry.
