jim kelley,

It seems likely that the 820E has dual channel RDRAM capability.

It is extremely unlikely

If so, this should raise its performance level significantly and put an end the endless benchmark controversy.

Significantly? 840 is not significantly faster than 820. The current CPU bandwidth is between 800 MB/s and 1,064 MB/s. Single channel RDRAM can provide 1,600 MB/s, double of what some CPU's can accept. How much can you possibly gain by doubling it again, if memory bandwidth is not the bottleneck in the first place?
