OK, so we all know what is DDR2; but here are some special technical notes
for normal users is "unnecessary" unless some motherboard manufactures
start to integrate those options into BIOS just as DFI did this time.
Honestly, from DFI's P965, what we so called the hard part merely ony
GTL+ Driving Strength, DQ alibraction or MCH ODT latency. Other than that,
the bios does not show anything "too hard to understand" part.
Normally, we all know DDR2 SDRAM is based on the 4bit prefech architecture to reach high speed
operation; in this architecture, DDR2 SDRAM can read/write as 4 times same amount of DATA as an
external bus to/from (both ways) memory cell array for every clock, and 4 times faster than
internal bus operation frequency. well where are these from?
ok, we can trace those back here:
代碼:
[COLOR="Red"]External clock freq.= 2x internal bus operation freq
Double Data Rate output=2x External clock freq.[/COLOR]
Now recall the PC-133 SDR(single Data Rate) SDRAM?, how about a comparison table amount of SDRT,
DDR, DDR2?
then let's look at into another way by block signal.
so this is the first step you might want to understand how fast DDR2 really is.
Next , we will talk about ODT, that's it, On Die Termination
