Sylvester, Wake up! DDR sucks. It's pure junk. All this using a 100% faster FSB and 100% faster memory for a 10% improvement when compared to the slowest PC133 platform. I think you are mixing too many things here. Athlon FSB went from 100 MHz to 133 MHz, matching P3. Athlon FSB is DDR, which improves bandwidth vs. P3. The memory is not any faster - fast being an equivalent of latency. The latency stays the same as PC-133. Actually, most tests (except Tom's) used DDR with CAS-2.5 vs. CAS-2 PC-133. This means that most tests used memory with slightly higher latency than PC-133. CAS-2.5 is kind of like testing PC-700 RDRAM. We are yet to see the full potential of PC-2100 DDR when we see more tests with CAS-2 DDR. The 10% average increase is partially due to faster FSB, partially due to the increased bandwidth of DDR. But since there are not too many applications that are bandwidth starved (central fallacy of the need for Rambus), the increases are modest. Joe
