You can also get some decent DDR3 deals at Ewiz on Super Talent memory .

I'll be holding off on DDR3 till Intel does thier next socket change sometime soon , in end of '08 , early '09 .

They are numerically higher only because the clock cycles by which they are measured are shorter; the actual time interval is generally lower than DDR2 latencies:

(From Wikipedia)

"While the typical latencies for a JEDEC DDR2 device were 5-5-5-15, the standard latencies for the JEDEC DDR3 devices are 7-7-7-20 for DDR3-1066 and 7-7-7-24 for DDR3-1333.

DDR3 latencies are numerically higher because the clock cycles by which they are measured are shorter; the actual time interval is generally lower than DDR2 latencies.

As with earlier memory generations, faster DDR3 memory became available after the release of the initial versions. DDR3-2000 memory with 9-9-9-28 latency was available in time to coincide with the Intel Core i7 release.[7] CAS latency of 9 at 2000Mhz is 36ns, while CAS latency of 7 at 1333Mhz is 42ns."

OGIGA said:I don't mind clock speeds getting so high, but why drag the timings up there too? This is freaking 9-9-9-24! I assume that the 2-2-2 days are history...?
