Tench - RE: "Still think Intel's Rambus platform is a joke" You asked him, but I wanna answer. ;) i820/DRDRAM vs. Irongate/PC100 IS a "joke" in price/performance. With the extremely high costs of an i820 system (whenever incompetent Intel gives it the green light) one would expect it to offer a superior performance advantage but it only offers better performance is a few applications with processors at a HIGHER clock speed. i840 seems to be better used w/DRDRAM because those systems cost a bunch anyways and I would guess with its extra features it is faster than i820. I bet Intel can't wait to get out their PC133 compatible chipset!
