AMD's latest Phenom II processors can run on the AM3 socket and use DDR3 memory, They're also designed to be backward compatible with AM2+ socket motherboards which support DDR2 memory. TweakTown takes a lot at performance differences between the two memory configurations. Western Digital was the first out of the gate with a 2TB hard drive with its Caviar Green series and we get a chance to see how well it performs.
