As much as enthusiasts loathe the “slow” performance of DDR2 over standard DDR, nothing can stop DDR2 from taking over DDR. Whether you transit to DDR2 now or later, you should know the manufacturers that make the best modules for your needs and preferences: be it affordable price, high performance or extreme overclockability. A recent review from Motherboards.org tries to answer the mentioned questions by testing PC2-4200 DDR2 products from six manufacturers.

“All the contenders today were exceptional. They all performed superbly well and are pretty much more than capable of pushing your system to the limits. My motherboard seemed to be the limiting factor here and I was unable to find any other motherboard that would allow me to overclock to or beyond 265FSB. Perhaps when I upgrade to a 925XE board I might be able to go further. Overall in the end, consumers like you and I will want something that provides the best performance and price ratio,” Motherboards.org web-site concludes.
