Carl, Hi all; Jimminies! Dell says RDRAM runs at 566MHz, not 800MHz. I can't believe this! They must be running the memory at 4x the processor bus speed of 133MHz. That would make the simplest memory interface, but all the stuff we see about the great performance of these systems is silly. Dell must have made a mistake somewhere along here... I just called Dell and the B Series uses PC600 RDRAM. As for the great performance being silly, you can't argue with the fact that the B Series systems kicked butt in the PC Magazine and PC World tests (where the 800Mhz systems came in equal to the 1G Athlons, and the 1G systems blew by the 1G Athlons). One of the things we've claimed many times on the board is that most users by a package, not individual components. If they're running PC600 and kicking butt in the benchmarks, imagine how well they'll do when they do put in PC800! (I know, I know, don't even bother answering, Scumbria <G>). Dave
