RE: <There is really no point to rambus unless and until they get the latency down. Its performance handicap will become worse as CPU speeds go up, not better. And it faces DDR 200 and 266 in Q1.>

Dan3 you are right. As the processor runs faster the need for shorter latency increases. CL2 PC133 will look even better vs Rambus. The only thing that will make Rambus look good is massive graphics traffic. Of course, even then DDR may be faster.

Dannie 12/4 - Intel 133 MHz FSB Pentium IIIs - 600 and 533 MHz - are now available on Pricewatch.com !!

Just hook these up with your favorite VIA chip set and Micron PC133 DRAM and away you go !

By the way - why has the 500 MHz Kmart 63 DISAPPEARED from Pricewatch.com ?

That's a bitter disappointment to all the faithful that have been WAITING since the February "LAUNCH" of this device !
