Dear Readers,

So far there seems to be mixed opinions regarding the DDR SDRAM issue and the
RAM question.

For those not familiar with DDR SDRAM, here's a source I consulted. Unfortunatly
99% of it went over my head.

http://www6.tomshardware.com/mainboard/00q4/001030/

It seems that DDR SDRAM is twice as fast as SDRAM, but the writer kept making
references to graphics. So my question is whether DDR SDRAM has a performance
effect upon chess programs as well. If so, since DDR SDRAM is supposed to be
twice as fast, does that mean that 256MB of DDR SDRAM is equivalent to 512MB of
SDRAM?

Sorry for asking such stupid questions, but I realy don't know the answers and
presume that you readers do.

Thanks in advance.
