I'm building a new PIV system and wanted to know (I haven't kept up with computer technology in the past three months or so):
1) When is dual DDR coming out?
2) 32ns pc1066 RDRAM is faster than pc3200 DDR with aggressive timings, right? (i'm not talking about when dual DDR comes out, talking about right now)
3) When dual DDR comes out, will you be able to use existing DDR sticks (say Corsair pc3200) and current processor? (i.e. all you would have to do to upgrade to dual DDR is get a new motherboard)
4) What will be the speed of dual DDR in a PIV system (lets use pc3200 as an example) and what is the speed of dual pc1066 RDRAM (I forget)?
Thanks. Basically, i'm asking these questions because I forgot a few things in my absence and I will be building a new computer. If dual DDR is coming out soon and you would just have to replace your MB for it, then i'm most likely going to build a DDR PIV system. If dual DDR is not faster than RDRAM or is not coming out anytime soon, then i'm going with RDRAM, as I have always been a fan.
EDIT: Also, I would like to add, that this computer will not be overclocked at all. I want complete silence (I will probably just have a few variable speed fans).
Thanks.
