This thread does not like questions about the utility of RDRAM. <g>

According to the RDRAM piece at Tom's Hardware, you do not need to consider the added cost of RDRAM in your decision. It offers, on average, no better than PC-133 SDRAM performance, hence, the addition of "considering the added cost" is kind of superfluous.

As to this thread, probably 70% of the discourse ultimately boils down to whether or not the RAMBUS bandwidth optimizing solution is useful for improving system performance now or in the near-term future. I am among the group that argue no; the majority of the posters to this board argue yes. One side is wrong on this issue-- which side is wrong will probably not be completely clear for another six to nine months.

In terms of your system, you should _obviously_ go and buy an AMD Athlon from HP, Compaq, or Gateway and not concern yourself with RDRAM.
