Pardon me, ladies and gentleworms... but I entered this here little board after the discussion about the XSERVE and why its DDR capabilities are a "hack." I will apologize in advance for such tomfoolery, but I am wondering what the real difference is between the "hacked" DDR and true DDR. What does either of them mean in terms of the upcoming PowerMac? Will we see TRUE DDR, and how much will it outperform the hacked DDR?

    The cpu communicates @ DDR rates w/ the ram ONLY. The cpu communicates on the FSB still only at 133MHz.



    Remember that the ram can be accessed w/ DMA direct memory access, not using the FSB.
