It is interesing to note that their performance is virtually indistinguisable from each other but the price ranges from $230 (PQI) to $378 (Corsair)! @newegg

So is DDR2 still slower than DDR memory, is it even, or is it finally getting better? What's the deal?

ddr2 is good if you can have low latency, such as the centon. for tasks that use up high bandwidth, ddr2 should be better because it can carry twice the amount of data. but because most people upgrade for the latest games, and games dont carry much data, ddr with low latency is definitely better. as of now, there isnt a huge gap of difference. ddr is better only cuz its still cheaper.
