then this is a case of Intel cramming drdram down people's throats
Once processors get above about 500Mhz then the SDRAM memory becomes a gating bottleneck. The user will see almost no speed improvement with the higher processors unless they get higher speed memory. Raising the bus speed to 133 would help a little but would top out at a bit above 600Mhz. It takes a big improvement in memory speed before the system performance increases enough to get anyone to fork over their cash. DRDRAM is the only thing on the horizon. SDRAM on a 600 or 700Mhz Coppermine makes no sense, nobody would pay more for it than SDRAM on a Katmai.
