Dave,

Either you misunderstood him (and forgot that the P4 had two RDRAM channels), or you were being intentionally misleading in your response.

Actually, neither.

He wrote: "The P4 numbers will leave no doubts on what RDRAM brings. "

I wrote: "PC800 provides 1.6GB/s. DDR266 provides 2.1GB/s."

I told him exactly what RDRAM brings. You can build as many connections to memory as you want, but that does not change the intrinsic value of the DRAM type, which is what Sylvester was claiming.

Intel is building DDR chipsets for P4 which will probably also use two connections, giving a total bandwidth of 4.2GB/s.
