Generally DDR3 > DDR2 - Its memory speed
Think of it is BMW 3 series (DDR2) vs BMW 7 series (DDR3). Generally DDR3 is faster , and it just beats the crap out of DDR2 - in terms of power consumption , speed and such
Generally, you are right, but keep in mind higher speed resulted in loosen memory timing too, which mean not much different in the end, at least for now.

agree with both feet up. Becoz intel and amd had different memory controller. Intel had best combination when both same speed to eliminate bottleneck on whether side.
AMD which having better experience in designing memory controller embedded.Well, Intel just rip-off the AMD Hyper-Transport and name it QPI or whatever on their i7, i5 and i3.
Which mean AMD have nothing to fight with intel now..... The olny thing they can do is cut, cut and cut their cpu price to remain competitive, Which is good for us, consumers

lolz.. so Turion will be a much better offer.. but wonder why its not available in malaysia.. uh.. any chance there will be ppl offering turion in pc fair? a singapore company? lolz..
i have zero knowledge on the processor stuffs.. haha.. all i know turion saves mroe power and cooler eh..
well.. rm300-400.. it cost quite a sum eh.. i guess.. im left with pirated vista as choice..
Turion and Athlon have almost the same performance. Keep in mind only the Turion ultra ZM series have larger L2 cache, the normal turion have only 1mb L2cache just like their Athlon brother.
