I know you're a RAMBUS fan, and I am not trying to ruffle feathers....but I had first hand experience with a P3 800 with RDRAM, and it was not much faster than my P2 450. tomshardware.com >Intel's and Rambus Cover-Up Strategy Continues With Pentium 4 The situation with Pentium 4 finally reveals Intel's and Rambus master plan behind the forced, painful and obviously pointless introduction of RDRAM in 1999. Intel was fully aware of the fact that Pentium III wasn't able to benefit from RDRAM one bit, but it wanted to make sure that RDRAM is available in the market once Pentium 4 gets introduced, because this processor would give awful performance results with single data rate SDRAM. ...Again I ask 'who would trust Rambus?' Why is Intel deliberately delaying a DDR-platform for Pentium 4 until the third or maybe even fourth quarter of 2001? < re: tomshardware.com >We have already mentioned it before; DDR-memory is not really anything brand new. It has been used very successfully on high-end 3D graphics cards for a couple of years, but it took until last October, that DDR-memory finally made its way to the system memory banks of motherboards.<
