Dan, <There is virtually no benefit from rambus. None.> Take another look at the benchmarks. There is quite a measurable difference on a lot of the benchmarks between Cumine 733 on 820/RDRAM and Cumine 700 on 440BX/SDRAM. (7.5% on Expendable, 8.5% on Quake 2, 6.6% on Quake 3, 9.7% on Graphics Winmark99, 6.4% on 3D Winbench T&L, etc.) This difference cannot be attributed to the increase in core or FSB speeds alone, or even a combination of the two. Coppermine at higher frequencies definitely benefits from Rambus. You might also want to focus on these two benchmarks, shown on this page: sharkyextreme.com You can see that a Cumine 667 on 820/RDRAM beats a Cumine 700 on 440BX on SSE-enabled applications like Adobe Photoshop and Naturally Speaking. Of course, if you want to look at RDRAM vs. PC133 VC-SDRAM, you could always check out the tests run by Tom "Intel is Dr. Evil and I'm Austin Powers" Pabst, where a 733 MHz Coppermine shows no differences between 820/RDRAM and VIA's Apollo Pro 133+ chipsets. But don't bother telling me again that there is no difference between 820/RDRAM and 440BX/SDRAM, because you're wrong. Tenchusatsu
