Chuck,

a whole bunch of motherboard people seem to say otherwise.

Since Intel owns something like 75% - 85% of the Intel motherboard market, which other motherboard people matter?

I've personally had a ZX and a Camino System, with 450MHz Pentium II processor side by side on my bench (no of course I can't tell you the manufacturer!) Subjectively the Camino system was faster to boot, and to do day-to-day tasks in Windows. I'm sorry I didn't do a formal benchmark

since unclewest isn't here right now--

I will tell you what he usually suggests:
1) go back through several months of posts, especially his, they are loaded with content and factual.
2) Go to Rambus website.
3) look at the list of their partners, go to each partners website. (this will take time, but for in-depth analysis--it is a must)
4) another site where I seem to find good information is:
www.wallstreethub.com--click on Rambus.

Sorry, but this is the most help that I can be.

Chuck,

Scumbria, whose is technically no slouch, and a whole bunch of motherboard people seem to say otherwise.

I should qualify your remark by saying that there may be other performance enhancements in Camino. The memory controller may be more sophisticated, etc. Everything else being equal, I just don't see much benefit for DRDRAM for common Windows tasks.
