Subject: Re: More Info on DDR SDRAM

Go up one level in this thread


The subject matter is quite tricky. Currently SDRAM is a bit quicker at the
first memory access but that will most probably change and then DDR SDRAM will
be clearly better. But since a chess program does other things than memory
lookups it is clear that more slow memory is preferable to a smaller amount of
fast memory as the transposition table is a trade of memory/resources for speed.
Just as you might trade money for speed by buying much fast DDR. This is subject
to change when new/improved memory technologies evolve.
