That was a comment, thank you. +1.

Remember the times where DDR2 underperformed compared to DDR performance modules? Deja vu. Latency values are nuts, and the final blow being everything priced so high and requiring total changes (LGA+PCIE+DDR2+New Components).

Higher performance in current benchies is attributed to Bearlake's memory controllers, which themselves probably became Intel's focus on the new chipsets. Alas, they (Bearlake) accept DDR2 too. And they run faster currently on performance DDR2 modules that cost cheaper. Oh?

If you want to pay 700 Euro for bragging rights on 2007's overclocker with a paltry 2Gigs go for it. But seriously, there's practically no meaning to roll this out *THIS* early- Penryn would be perfect and modules would be more mature. You know, besides being able to clock better.

Core 2 Refresh? You gotta be kidding me. It makes the tech look ugly.
