Carl, <It is obvious that 3.75ns added to every memory read is a substantial latency difference, surely enough to be visible in modern computers.>

When you are talking about average latencies of 70 to 100 nsec per memory access, 3.75 nsec is but a small penalty. As I said time and time again, the design and architecture of the chipset itself impacts latency much more than the latency difference between SDRAM and RDRAM.
