It seems like DDR3 is taking forever to get into the mainstream and the DDR3 that is out now has such bad timings that it makes it difficult to drop the bills on this expensive new item. Patriot has a solution. They have DDR2 that is close to DDR3 speeds and has much tighter timings than DDR3. Who would really want to get DDR3 at 1333MHz and CAS 8 timings when you can get DDR2 at 1200MHz and CAS 5 timings? Plus you get the added bonus of saving some money. If you're not quite ready to make the jump to DDR3, check out this review and see what we think of some really fast DDR2.
