In 3DMark 2001SE and 3DMark 05, the results from using DDR2 and from using DDR are essentially identical. This would imply that upgrading to the newer technology has little benefits, for this benchmark at least.

Once again we see little difference amoung the various 915 boards in either DDR2 or DDR configurations. I have a suspicion this trend will continue for the real-world game tests. Let’s find out!
