        <![CDATA[ Hi everyone.  I decided to take the time to do an update on this guide.  Apparently, a lot of people didn't like the first guide because (and I admit) it was too heavily bottlenecked by my old video card, a GeForce2 MX 400 PCI, and did not show a &quot;real&quot; comparison of DDR and SDR flavours of SDRAM.However, I am now an owner of an MSI GeForce4 Ti 4200, and have some real comparitive results for everyone.------------------------------------------------------------Contents of this... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ For comparison purposes, it is enough.  It shows the performance gain easily enough to know that the extra points or FPS is not just game variation, and that was the whole point of this guide.  I fail to see how a faster video card would provide better results, either... the performance gain could possibly be moreso from the video card than anything else.  <br><br>I believe a fast, stable system is much more essential to have then a faster system that has instabilities.  Try running Prime95... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm using a generic, no name pc133 512 which I got for very cheap. This single chip runs pretty sweet and stable. It seems to me that DDR would not be significantly faster than what I already have. Afterall, I mainly surf web and play around with digital photos. ]]></description>

They're all appreciated.<br><br>MrWicked1968: <br>Actually, despite it's low capacity, it's a 7200RPM ATA66 hard drive, so I doubt any more speed would have been gained by using another hard drive (unless it has an 8MB cache buffer such as the WD caviar, but that's really beside the point).<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I'm also VERY surprised UT2k3 perform as well as you state with SDR.

			<description><![CDATA[ I commend you Alpha for taking the time to bench between DDR and SDR on the K7S5A. I know for myself and others I always recommend DDR instead, especially since it tends to be less troublesome. When I switched to from SDR to DDR, I saw some decent FPS boost, I'm surprised you didn't. I'm also VERY surprised UT2k3 perform as well as you state with SDR. I guess these old chips still have some life in them. The synthetic benchmarks I wan't surprised you saw such a huge boost though, I recall a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Nice! Well-documented research.<br><br>MrWicked1968: Yes, a faster drive would make the system faster for general use (both when using PC133 and PC2100), but that's not the point. The goal is to show how two different memory types perform in a otherwise identical setup. ]]></description>
