Dave, The author of this article shares a lot of misconceptions with you about RDRAM and DDR, yet he still came to the correct conclusion about performance and value: The CRN Test Center has discovered that AMD's latest processor outperforms Intel's for most business applications at a significantly lower price, even though the AMD systems tested had lower clock speeds and slower memory. Two AMD 1.2GHz Athlon systems,one with PC133 memory, the other with Double Date Rate (DDR) RAM,outperformed an Intel 1.5GHz Pentium 4 system by 13.20 percent and 19.29 percent, respectively. Based on memory, motherboard and processor street prices, the AMD DDR system would cost around $200 less than the Intel system, even though DDR will cost more than the Rambus memory used for the Intel Pentium 4. Similarly, the AMD PC133 system would cost around $560 less than the Intel system. crn.com Scumbria
