Geoff Tate is probably saying how RDRAM's actual bandwidth comes closer to its theoretical bandwidth than any form of SDRAM. In other words, PC133 SDRAM has a theoretical bandwidth of 1.06 GB/sec, but it will rarely go above 75% of that theoretical limit. RDRAM's bandwidth is 1.6 GB/sec, and it can get to 90% of that theoretical limit. However, I don't know about his statement saying PC133 SDRAM is only a third as fast as Rambus. (By the way, Kap, it's "hyperbole", not "hyperbola". One is used in geometry.) Tenchusatsu
