I like the little tweaks to the design on the heatspreaders. That's about all I can say until we get a DDR3 Phenom

MilkyWay · Mar 18, 2008

well thats almost as fast as my pc at least double as fast as my duron rig lol

Ok. again, why is Lexar announcing these? I thought Micron owned crucial or vice versa. Is it now Lexar that owns both or what?

TheGuruStud · Mar 18, 2008

DDR3 for gamers? ROFL, idiots. Another dumb marketing ploy of "Ooooh look at the speed!".
With timings of 9, yeah, that's real fast. :banghead:

"Lexar was acquired by Micron Technology in 2006, and subsequently merged with Crucial Technology under the name Lexar Media, a subsidiary of Micron."

According to Wikipedia...
