Tench, Excellent post. Regarding memory bandwidth.....do u have a feel to what apps they may choose. This should also help Athlons with its 200Mhz bus as well methinks. regards, kash.

The only difference this time is the high profile of Rambus and RDRAM. We never saw this much attention focused on 440BX and PC100 SDRAM. Why? Because it provided better performance at the same cost. Rambus is expensive, and doesn't provide any major benefit for PC main memory at this time. But they won't mention anything about Intel's point-of-view, which is that RDRAM will likely be much better going forward into 2000 and beyond than the alternatives like DDR SDRAM. Yeah, but what does that mean exactly? It might mean something if they get specific, otherwise it's just mush-headed marketing talk.
