Re: the pcs. that can run VR will be the kings of the hill... I personally don't think that VR is going to be a determining factor, but if you do, you should check out: www5.tomshardware.com where PC100, Rambus, and PC133 are benchmarked on Naturally Speaking VR software. Rambus is faster than PC100 on this particular application. But PC133 outperforms rambus on VR by a greater margin than rambus outperforms PC100 on VR. To be fair, this was run with an early camino board, so we'll have to wait for thorough testing, and rambus may catch up to or surpass PC133 performance on VR. But the available evidence to date does not show VR as being benefited by rambus as much as it is benefited by PC133. Dan

RE: <i like how you guys dismiss Voice Recognition as one of those small aps. VR is going to be the thing that separates the men from the boys. the pcs. that can run VR will be the kings of the hill. rmbs is needed here. rocky> The problem is that the dram makers are being asked to go through a mountain of hurt right now in anticipation of killer Rambus apps which may or may not occur in the future. In fact when they do occur ddr sdram may well be in place and be a better solution also.
