Early, all - a couple interesting tidbit from the Mar-23 PC Magazine: John Dvorak says Intel has developed a S-RIMM memory module that allows machines designed for Rambus memory to use SDRAM (with some loss of performance). If that is true, it would be interesting to know what (if any) royalty Rambus gets for S-RIMM. This could knock that high-flyer for a loop. PC Mag reviews of the first PIII machines show "the Pentium III's Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) have no real impact on typical business applicatons: The Pentium II/450 and Pentium III/450 comparison systems virtually tied on this measure..." However, 3D performance was somewhat (7%) better. Applications that are heavily floating point intensive gained the most.
