Tenchusatsu, while RDRAM's low pin count makes it more desirable for desktops and workstations. Didn't I just read here that the next generation of RDRAM is going to double the pin count? Besides, as I said elsewhere, having to spend additional $800.00 instead of $800.25 for 128 MB or memory compared to the same amount of SDRAM makes the argument beyond ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, CAS2 PC133 does not handily beat RDRAM, despite what Tom Pabst claims. A properly-designed 440BX chipset running at 133 MHz would run substantially slower than Tom's overclocked system. Via chip, which was never a great performance chip compared to BX matched the performance of RDRAM, running in-spec in properly designed system. If look at the comparisons of Via chip and BX running at 100 MHz, you wuold see how much slower the chipset is. I think Intel will have to cripple the 815 chipset to keep RDRAM in the running performance-wise. But in the long run, the Rambus albatros will make Intel shareholders pay dearly. Joe
