REH, improving bandwidth can hide latency. Latency is a big problem only when all memory accesses are random. Then, the cache is of no use, and all accesses are delayed by the time it takes to get data from the memory. However, if the accesses are very regular, the hit ratio is very high. In this situation, filling the cache fast becomes the most important issue, thereby necessitating high memory bandwidth. In many compute-intensive jobs, regular access patterns are common, and an RDRAM will help significantly in this regard. Joseph
