They argue that latency is improved with Rambus in a system with some real memory traffic. Is it, though? I really wonder if Intel did full system-level performance simulations. Heck, they had to. I mean, you don't make a multi-billion$ decision based on some foils, right? Maybe they ran the sims, the results were ho-hum, but they convinced themselves that future code, maybe using the MMX2 prefetch instructions, would benefit somehow.

Re: earlier post Thanks for your post. I have to be careful, because I don't have the depth of knowledge that you have about process and other areas. But I have followed these technologies from a very broad perspective for a long time. I think that sometimes the wrong aspects get emphasized. Just judging from some of the Athlon overclocking tests, PC100 seems to do pretty well through 750MHZ or so. DDR 266 should cover us to 1.5GHZ, and DDR400 should take us to 2.5GHZ. After that, who knows? Regards, Dan
