Hi thread moron; Re: "In all your BS glory you still forgot to respond in why are all these PC133 SDRAM numbers faster than DDR.

I wrote: "The thing to remember with this benchmark is that the PC133 system has CL2 latency (13ns). This is the fastest SDRAM memory available. In fact, the Rambus heads have been suggesting that it was unfair to compare PC800 RDRAM to PC133 CL2 SDRAM because of the rarity of this memory type. By comparison, the DDR is the slower 200MHz type, not the faster 266MHz that will be standard. The latency is equivalent to CL2 PC100 (20ns) which is the same latency (more or less) as CL3 PC133 (20ns)."

The reason RDRAM sucks is that it has lousy latency. The DDR chips they used in the sharkyextreme benchmark also had lousy latency. Got it now?
