Quote from article:

What does this mean for early adopters? Essentially; nothing. There will not be a performance increase between DDR2-400 and DDR-400 (or even between DDR2-533 and DDR-533). DDR2 is the technology to enable post-DDR533 speeds, rather than a technology to enhance it. As we start to see benchmarks of DDR1 versus DDR2 trickle in, consider the maturity of the two technologies. DDR1 is nearly 5 years old with dozens of chipset manufacturers and billions of dollars in financial backing. DDR2 still has not even entered full production yet.

This says it all.

I didnt think DDR vs DDR2 at same speed would be provide a speed improvement.. Since DDR2 has such a high latency...

But its nice to know that its not worth upgrading just yet Plus I lack the hardware required to run DDR2

Only because it isn't available for purchase yet.

Not only that, but I also lack the Columbian drug smuggling ring required to fund such a purchase.
