DDR vs. DDR2 - What it means to you.

We will start off with Sandra 2004's Memory Bandwidth benchmark.

Considering the differences in data rate, the results for the memory bandwidth benchmark are pretty much as expected. Now it's time to get into some productivity benchmarks with PC Magazine's Business Winstone 2004 and Content Creation 2004.

As you can see, there are some modest gains, but nothing to get excited about. The margin of difference between DDR2 and DDR here is very negligible, less than a full point in either benchmark.
