DDR2 great says Crucial: AMD disagrees

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20888
The Tracer line of Ballistix modules from Crucial, a division of Micron, features top-specced RAM with funky flashing LEDs on top. The RAM is low latency, making it perfect for overclockers looking to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their system. That's what Crucial reckons, anyhoo.

Of course, Intel says that DDR2 uses less power and is clearly the road to the future. It, no doubt, would suggest that AMD is lagging behind in technology leadership.

We know that AMD's chips have been a better choice for the hardcore overclocker over the last 6 months, the market that this new 667MHz Crucial memory is aimed at. We wonder if an AMD announcement about DDR2 might be forthcoming over the next couple of weeks.
