"It's nearly here, time to explain it then

DDR-II. What do you think of when you see that written on a spec sheet or a website? DDR at twice the frequency? DDR on a 2x bigger bus? Plain old dual-channel DDR, just written differently? I didn't have a clue either. And when I see it written as DDR2, I get another little bit of confused added on top. Do they mean DDR-II, have they missed a G off the front while talking about graphics card memory? Aieee, it's a bit of minefield at the moment. My thinking is that if I have to explain DDR-II to the HEXUS readership in coming months - Grantsdale and its big brother Alderwood aren't far away now - I should get myself familiar with it. This little article is the result.

It's basically a stupidly good article by MS over at LostCircuits, digested and simplified down to the basics. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say. So here goes."
