Gerald, here's a couple articles from Tom's Hardware page a while back. Like Sal, they're not much impressed by Rambus. The main article is "Performance Impact of Rambus" www4.tomshardware.com. There's also brief takes of interest at www4.tomshardware.com and tomshardware.com . Both of the last 2 are sections of broader articles. As a cheap hardware guy, I'm a little bemused by Intel in general. Celery is the way to go, at least on the desktop. For regular Pentium II's , it's not even clear that the 100mhz bus buys you anything in particular. High bandwidth solutions have a place in the multiprocessor market, but for mainstream desktop/ productivity apps, it's all massive overkill. It's odd that businesses still seem to be budgeting pretty much the same money for PC's, going for $2-3k systems. I'd buy $500 systems as needed, and treat them as disposable, or use 'em for network terminals if they ran out of gas. But again, I'm cheap. Cheers, Dan.
