Hi,

My apologies if this is already posted here. Found this on Aces Hardware -

" RAMBUS 25% SLOWER than SDRAM!! johan
Saturday, September 11, 1999 (07:10 AM West-Europa (zomertijd)) "

aceshardware.com

For an official benchmark of RAMBUS vs SDRAM, go to

inqst.com

According to Aces -

"RAMBUS, a total disaster ? Be careful !
The higher the FSB (bus between chipset and CPU),
the MORE bandwidth RAMBUS PC800 can deliver and
PC SDRAM 100 can not. Limiting RAMBUS PC 800 to
a 100 MHz bus is not really fair. The results at
133 MHz FSB are quite different from the ones at
100 MHz... You want prove ? Well, stay tuned
because Ace's hardware is going to suprise you
again in a few weeks."


Does this mean that Athlon with its higher MHz FSB will benefit more from RAMBUS than Intel Pentium cpus? If true, Intel should design a chip set and mother board with RAMBUS interface for ATHLON cpus to keep RAMBUS from becoming a RAMBUST (just kidding.)

Regards,
Goutama
