<John: P4 scales horribly>

I would actually expect the P4 on Rambus to scale the best. Here are my expectations (and it's quite evident what I base my evaluation on) - from worst to best:

PIII on SDR
TBird on SDR
...
TBird on DDR
...
Palomino on DDR
P4 on DDR
...
P4 on Rambus

-------------

The dots are there to indicate a jump in scalability. The reason I rate P4 on Rambus so high is, of course, that the dual Rambus channels offer the highest memory bandwidth. The unknown here is what role the higher latency might play, compared to the P4+DDR solution.

If NVIDIA ever actually introduces its 128bit DDR chipset, that would take the cake.
