Thomas, OK, I see. I guess what I am thinking about is that it is quite difficult to decide if factor X makes much difference in performance. I also got 2.6Ghz Xeon box at work with 1GB RDRAM, but I don't have a clue what its FSB is and I don't have a clue whether its RDRAM (as opposed to DDR) matter. You can't just compare your new box CAD experience with old box. My data analysis programs also run ~2 times faster on the new box vs. old 400MHz desktop. But is it because of RAM? Is it CPU? Faster disk? I have very little clue. BTW, I bought 2 DIMMs for 1Gb, since they were much cheaper than a single 1Gb DIMM. I have no clue if this impacted the performance. I am wondering if the whole decision is becoming BMW vs. Mercedes vs. Volkswagen - a matter of preference with not much hard evidence. Of course, the benchmarks are there, but do they matter? Even in graphic card area, where Rambus presumably clearly wins, does it matter unless you want to stay at dream edge all the time? Jurgis - not criticizing, just wondering and thinking about my next home computer purchase...
