Wow, I leave you guys alone for a day and come back to some of the most interesting discussions in a while.

It seems to me that the bull argument comes down to RDRAM being a better value i.e. better delta-price/delta-performance. If I recall correctly, there was an unofficial P4 test of DDR vs RDRAM performance and RDRAM did not do very well. Does anyone still remember that or care to comment?

An alternate case can be devised due to lack of DDR chipset release for P4. Take an Athelon and a P4 system that benchmark similarly with PC133. Then look at the performance differences of the same systems when using DDR and RDRAM respectively. This should provide an idea as to how much system improvement one can expect from each memory. Anand or some other HW site should already have these benchmarks.

Any takers?
