Ten, re:<certainly 'ordinary applications' don't need it [Rambus Bandwidth]> Please look at the graph at www6.tomshardware.com The top 5 applications are not "ordinary" applications: we have four games running in DirectX or OpenGL at 70 to 130 frames per second. And we have 3DStudioMAX doing 3D rendering. Guess what? On these "heavy duty" applications, the VIA chipset beats the i820 Camino! Only in Netscape-like applications does Intel's "high bandwidth" RAMBUS have an advantage of 2 to 3%. WOW! A 2% gain in business applications for FOUR TIMES THE MEMORY COST. Absolutely no improvement in 3DStudioMAX. I'm sure those Camino motherboards are going to sell like hotcakes (if they are ever certified as working). Petz
