Another important point here is that with CuMine processors the cache line size just doubled from that of earlier processors (Dont be surprised if it doubles again for Willamette). That means SDRAM and DDR need to do two accesses from consecutive addresses, complete with the latency of a RAS cycle to send the low part of the address for the second fetch to the memory chips. On the other hand RDRAM doesn't need a second address, this is what it does best. It just keeps sending the data at 1.6G bits/ second from consecutive addresses until you tell it to stop :)
