Van Smith tests Athlon XP 2600 vs. Dell Dimension 340, which uses PC-800 RDRAM:

which brings up a question. Did Intel decide to support PC-1066 RDRAM? I seem to recall that at the time of 850E chipset (which supports 133MHz FSB), PC-1066 was not supported, but some motherboard makers provide support / timing for it on their motherboards.

Anyway, this review shows that Dell systems are dogs (a big difference from early Dell days, when Dell systems were generally performance leaders), since in other reviews, the performance of P4 2.56 and AXP 2600 is similar, but in Anand's tests, AXP 2600 consistently outperforms P4.
