DDR3 RAM now has started being produced. Manufacturers like Visipro RAM, corsairs and kingston have started vying to produce this DDR3 RAM. Actually, although the last generation, DDR3 RAM certainly has some shortcomings as well as the advantages that are deliberately created by the makers in order to maximize the performance of the computer. On this occasion I would share a little about some of the advantages and disadvantages of DDR3 RAM, consider the following article continues.
Excess DDR3 RAM
Increased performance of DDR3 RAM and much better than DDR2 RAM because existing technology is more refined on the DDR2 on DDR3 and also there is some new technology added. Higher bandwidth (up to 1600 MHz) capable of transferring data with clock effectively 800-1600 MHz. In the 400-800 MHz clock, far lebihtinggi comparison of DDR2 400-1066 MHz (200-553 MHz) and DDR at 200-600 MHz (100-300 MHz).
Power required is also reduced compared with DDR2. If DDR2 require 1.8v power to be able to work, DDR3 only require 1.5V power so it is beneficial to use the laptop mainly from battery power so it is more durable. (1.8v DDR2 & DDR3 1.5V)
Allows some high density, low-voltage module choice for servers, desktops, notebooks and applications.
Lack of DDR3 RAM
DDR3 memory modules are not compatible to DDR2 based motherboards. despite having the same number of pins, the same length but the notch between the two different RAM. Likewise mobo that support is still scarce on the market
Having a CAS Latency is higher than its predecessor generation as a compensation of high bandwidth.
Having the engine cooling (cooler) is better because DDR3 working at higher speeds than DDR2 (800-1600MHz effective clock)
Until now, the price of DDR3 SDRAM high enough. Comparison prices are quite striking between DDR3 and DDR2. This is because in addition to its relatively new technology which is also the amount of production is still minimal. Motherboard that supports DDR3 RAM type is also still a little on the market, practical only major manufacturer who has supported this type of RAM. As a price comparison, DDR3 approximately 2.5X more expensive than DDR2.
So sharing my brief, may be useful for visitors of all, thank you
