Re: "SO again for this years systems what does RDRAM buy over PC 133 in projected system performance."

Kash, it would seem that 133MHz is 133MHz, no matter who is feeding it. The advantage of RamBus is that because of the low pincount, the memory hub can afford to have multiple banks of RDRAM while only adding a small number of pins. From a purely CPU standpoint that doesn't mean a whole lot but from a system standpoint that could be a big factor. To access another bank do you want to add 16 pins for another 800MHz RamBus port or 128 pins for 100MHz SDRAM?
