Sure isn't.

DDR2 = high speed and high latency. DDR = lower speeds and low latency. As far as I know, the boards that support DDR2 now are also all PCI-E. That means that you'd have to do some pretty major and pretty expensive upgrades. After said upgrades you'd see a very slight difference, if any, in performance.

First, it was a reasonable question. You didn't give much background, which makes it difficult to tell where you're at. Also, if you have to preface something with "no offense" it's usually going to be offensive, and offensive comments are better left unsaid - especially since we're using a forum (no tone of voice makes it difficult to tell your intent) and you're asking others for help.

Interesting as he flamed himself.... Maybe he's just really happy, hence the comment and poor wording


Seriously, lets get back on track and just try to help this bloke out.
