<That is one heck of an advantage. Will the RAMBUS chip perform as well or better when/if it comes out?>

I don't know what you mean. Initial Athlon systems will be using regular PC100 SDRAM, so unless there are some tricks being employed (like interfacing two identical SDRAM modules in parallel), the 200 MHz processor bus is pretty much useless (and only serves as a marketing point). Once newer memory technologies are supported, such as Rambus' DRDRAM, the 200 MHz bus will become much more useful.

However, Athlon systems aren't expected to support Rambus' DRDRAM (or any other memory technology for that matter) until 2000.
