Dan3,

A couple of links have been provided in the last couple of days which compare performance. They both conclude that RDRAM based systems have an advantage.

toshiba.com
and
gamespot.com

Similarly PC Magazine this issue concludes that the Intel 733 systems (without RDRAM) have a slight edge over Athlon. Isn't it the system performance that is important, and not individual components?

Which gets me to my central question. Given that it is only valid to compare actual systems that people can actually buy (vapor-products being irrelevant), what do you believe the timetable to be for the various DRAM forms, for Volume production:

PC 133
RDRAM 600
RDRAM 800
DDR
DDR II

Also, do you agee with Toshiba's implication (in excluding it), that PC133 is essentially irrelevant to discussing Roadmaps?

Best,
JS
