<A system using more than three or four DDR266 DIMMs will almost certainly need to use registered devices, whereas such a system may be possible with conventional PC133 DIMMs. In this situation, the registered DDR266 memory will have a longer latency and according to you will therefore have worse performance than PC133. >

Jerking again, John Walliker? Comparing apples
with bananas?

"Almost certainly" against "may be possible", huh?

If a system has to have a very large memory, it will
use registered devices, DDR or SDRAM. Therefore
please do not do tricks and compare apples-to-apples.

In addition, shorter data phase for DDR also
impies that _subsequent_ latency become smaller,
for further performance benefits.

BTW, "very large memory" automatically implies that
your DRDRAM is out of league here :) :) Is that what
you meant when trying to ridicule Scumbria's
"question"?
