Milo, Re: "Wanna the integrated memory control will provide more improvements than using DDR400. Athlon is a classic example of outperforming a HIGH BANDWIDTH Platform such as P4. Latency is what kills P4 performance."

Milo, how much do you actually know about latency and bandwidth, and how important they are to performance? Do you actually think that lower latency will be able to sustain performance as processors grow in clock frequency?

Re: "AMD misses out on nothing as they are already kicking Intels but when it comes to performance and they are doing it with PC2100 and a non integrated memory controller."

Sorry, the Pentium 4 is the one currently kicking the Athlon butt in the majority of tests right now, and they are doing it only partially due to the benefit of greater memory bandwidth.
