<I still haven't figured out which desktop applications are memory bandwidth limited. I know that Winstone is not one of them, so I don't see K7, DRDRAM or Camino offering any advantage Winstone advantage.> Muddying the waters again, Scumbria? I thought those who will buy the K7 aren't the ones who are only concerned with Winstone apps, so why are you bringing up Winstone? By the way, Scumbria, I attended an RDRAM seminar last month which was presented by HP. The reasoning behind RDRAM is that it not only has twice the bandwidth of PC100 SDRAM, but that it is also more efficient at utilizing all of its bandwidth compared to SDRAM. That's why some marketing guys at Rambus are saying that RDRAM has up to three times the bandwidth of SDRAM. Will it be useful? Well, that depends on what kinds of apps those future K7 customers will be running. By the way, latency isn't any longer than PC100 SDRAM. I don't know where some people got that idea. Tenchusatsu
