Re: please, give it up It's the only test out there. I haven't heard any "we're waiting to see if there's a substantial performance improvement" from the rambus cheering section, just a bunch of vague claims for huge performance increases. How come you aren't suggesting that those with that perspective "give it up?" I've posted the only released performance test of rambus. It's a single data point, on an unreleased version of camino, but a real test, nonetheless. My own expectation is that rambus 800 will modestly outperform PC133, once all of the final tweaks and fixes are in. Rambus may even equal VC133 in overall performance. But both of those technologies are cheaper and easier to produce than rambus. What is your expectation for rambus performance? Remember when Microsoft was telling everyone that OS2 was next year's platform and Windows was a short term transition product? Remember that other sure winner, microchannel? Marketing and forecasts aren't always enough. I think that unclewest and others may have included some unhatched chickens in their counts, that's all. Dan
