Hi betty I found this on searching RMBS tonight. Intel's next major chip set, called the 815 and code-named Solano, will add support for 133MHz Synchronous Dynamic RAM. At the present time, Intel supports only 100MHz SDRAM or Rambus memory technology. The 815 is due in the first quarter of next year, sources said. The chip set, which will also offer an integrated graphic engine, will be aimed at midrange PCs. Because 133MHz SDRAM memory costs much less than Rambus memory, PCs using the 815 set will also cost less than high-end 820 chip set-based PCs with Rambus memory. Otherwise known as Direct Rambus Dynamic RAM, Rambus memory technology uses a completely different architecture than SDRAM to offer bandwidth of up to 1.6GB per second -- double that which is now offered by 133MHz SDRAM. Rambus-based systems, however, are currently $300 to $400 more than a similar system with SDRAM, due to the additional cost of the newer memory technology. dailynews.yahoo.com don
