Richard,

I don't think you have an answer right now. If he's buying a 533Mhz system, he probably doesn't need RDRAM.

At this point, it's only for people who are really driven by performance. and hopefully we can prove that it provides a benefit on the high-end systems. The key to success at this point is getting the price of RDRAM down so that you don't have to make these trade-offs. Announcements like Toshiba's will help get us there. In spite of someone else's comment that RDRAM prices are dropping, I'm not yet seeing that on the Kingston or Dell sites (which I'm checking 1-2 times a week).

In the interest of providing your poster the best advice, I'd say that RDRAM is not for the "value" segment yet, so he doesn't need it. He'd be better off spending the money on improving other components.

Dave
