DDR2 Design with Cyclon III

Hi all I just started a new desing using a Cyclon III to interface discrete DDR2 memory (No DDR2 module!). It is just one single chip per interface. Can someone help me choosing the right...

Some thoughts,

At 167 it is relatively slow and relatively fast (sounds odd, I know).

You might be able to get away with nothing (maybe just the clock?).

Best bet is to get yourself an evaluation version of Mentor's Hyperlinx and build up a model of the desired interface you wish to use.

Then you will be able to experiment with different options.

(You could even ask the Mentor FAE to work it up for you as the demo he will show you for the tool).
