JC, when I said "Pentium III really doesn't need DDR," I meant P3 in the current form. It's the 133 MHz FSB which is keeping the P3 from exploiting all of the bandwidth of DDR. As for Pentium 4, I don't know. I've heard some theories from within, along with many theories from the outside (L1 cache, long RDRAM latency, poorly-compiled programs, branch mispredicts, etc.). Switching the memory from RDRAM to DDR only changes one of many variables in the picture, and with so many different benchmarks out there, it's hard to predict the results. Tenchusatsu
