DDR2 better than DDR??? (vague thread titles'r'us)

It is if your motherboard or memory controller can only use DDR2. Your question is very broad. Why do you ask? What is the practical application here?
 
DDR2 depending on your CPU and Motherboard.

Not being funny mate - but couldn't your thread title be a little more informative than a load of question marks?
 
Yep only amd's suffer @ high latency's, on intel based pc's latency's hardly ever matter, just pure mhz, for amd system ddr2 is just a little bit faster, but on intel based pcs its a lot faster.

Curious - along with the benchmark set posted above, along with another load done by that website concerning witches' magic, would say otherwise.

P4s @ 250MHz FSB w/ 3-3-3-8 timings performed no better than the same chips @ 200MHz FSB w/2-2-2-5 timings.

I think a more accurate way of putting such a statement across would be that Intel-based systems suffer less of a hit when twiddling with latencies than AMD-type ones due to the processor designs, but they still get it in the knackers.

Obviously, with DDR2-800, etc. the story will undoubtedly be somewhat different, but the margins - extrapolation required - would not be huge. At all.
