Marvell announces Discovery III Northbridge : Comment 61 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Eva on 01-Oct-2003 08:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 58 (Crumb // AAT): ------
until IBM or Motorola decides to add DDR support g3/g4 will run as good as with normal sdram.

Oky I just understand your point of you ... better Mai chip in AMigaOne (with all the difficulties to find Sdram that works and cost less than DDR one) :D
Anyway if you see the benchmark I can tell you also that ... if you compare an ATi 8500 PCI with an ATi 8500 AGP, the differences in speed are little (in Q3 tests about 6-7 fps) ... this means that Agp is useless?
I think no.
Point out that "DIscovery DDR support is useless" is simply not true.
Both the machine speed and the user benefits are rewarded by DDR support.
In these dayz Singapore dealers Sdram price are higher than DDR 333 one! And it's also difficult to find Sdram around. So also the simple fact that we can INSTALL DDR-ram is a step foward. |
