so new PC and Half Life 2.. will it work on my HDTV with DVI connection? - Page 2  

In 10 years he'll be able to play all the "classics" like Doom 3, HL2, etc. Or, he can simply buy a new PC in 10 years along with a postage-stamp sized drive containing all the "classics" & their respective operating systems to make them work.

DooDoo,

DDR2 is only part of the equation. It's the end result of many variables that make a PC reach the #1 spot. Last I saw, none of those contained DDR2.

Very true, but Dells, Alienware etc... have locked BIOS, so it would be impossible to use these modules unless they ran at the exact same voltage, which is very unlikely. If you can't change things in your BIOS you don't have these options.

The fastest DDR modules are still faster than the fastest DDR2. BH-5, BH-6, TCCD...all those ICs run 2-2-2-x, some hit above 300mhz at those timings. DDR2 cant do that yet. It's likely AMD will skip DDR2 altogether. The fastest machines are AMD and use good old DDR1, throwing a 2 at the end of DDR does not make it better. Intel would like you to believe that though.
