RE: <Are you still using your 8086 with 64K of DRAM?> Actually I'm using a PIII 550 with 256 MB PC100 Sdram. I've had it for about a month now. It is great! Previously I had PI 133 with 32 MB. That was awful due mainly to excessive paging. I still have that problem in the office with PII 200 with 64 MB and that is not near enough dram since I'm running Win NT and paging is awful. (I've got a special solution in mind for that turkey.) The best thing you can do for your PC is add memory. Any kind of memory. RE: <So where's the Athlon+RDRAM benchmark? Did AMD not publicize it because RDRAM looked so good? You never did answer my request to explain how your logic cuts the issue so finely that only Intel has to offer customers every combination of technologies. I'll assume that you can't because the logic is so flawed as to be useless.> Dave, please give this up. I explained it all so carefully and everyone else seems to understand it. One last try: "I don't care what Intel or AMD offer, they can offer anything they want. But it is the lack of Intel choice that has created this $2B air ball which would collapse immediately if Intel actually does offer a true choice. That should tell you something about Rambus." If you don't give a darn whether this tells you something about Rambus or not that is fine. But please stop trying to twist my statement around.
