The danger of selective benchmark highlights is that they can bite you. Note a few pages down, we see that in the voice recognition, CORELDRAW, paradox benchmarks, the sis645 with single channel PC2700 and fsb-400 outperforms the dual channel pc1066 rdram with fsb533.

This is the disturbing part of rdram --- you have 4.2GB of bandwidth from the dual channel pc-1066, you have 2.7GB of bandwidth from the single channel pc2700.

So why are there still benchmarks where the system with the slower memory runs faster?

Go back a few months : The fact that this was happening when the price delta for pc800 to pc2100 was so large makes the box makers' decision quite simple. Is it too late for them to change their minds?

And we haven't even gone into that business winstone thing --- excel/word/access --- apps that IT departments have to support. See how pc800 does on that.
