TechIMO has posted an OCZ PC-4000 Gold VX DDR Memory review

First publicly demonstrated in 1997 at a JEDEC memory committee meeting, Double Dynamic Rate memory was viewed more as hype than as a viable solution for personal computers. At the time, Samsung was the sole manufacturer of the memory, and even worse, the simultaneously debuted VIA M3 prototype motherboard failed after just two hours of operation – not exactly a triumphant marketing coupe of DDR technology.

There is no debate DDR memory initially had problems. However, the semiconductor industry did like one aspect of the technology: its simplicity. The DDR specification built upon the previous synchronous DRAM platform, meaning many aspects of existing fabrication processes and circuitry designs could be carried over with modest modifications. DDR die size was comparable to SDR, meaning the new memory afforded only a ten to fifteen percent premium as compared to its older sibling – a far cry from the near ridiculous prices associated with the other competing standard of the day from the now infamous RAMBUS.
