But in no way do I think that PC133 will ever outperform Rambus, despite the tired old claims of "lower latency." Well, PC100 outperforms 600/700Mhz Rambus on Win98 business benchmarks. Micron is shipping a VIA-based system with VC SDRAM. Would be interesting to see the benchmarks on that.

Tenchu, Party line? From what others have said the Athlon bus with the 133 will outperform the rambus current offering. Athlon having a superior internal bus structure that works and more than offsets the rambus theoretical advantage. Bill

Tencusatsu, <But in no way do I think that PC133 will ever outperform Rambus, despite the tired old claims of "lower latency> Don't you think we have plenty of data to indicate that the answer is application dependent? Especially since we haven't seen many PC133 chipsets or CL2 yet, "no way" is strong phrase. Chuck

if you are using the new AGP4x Nvidia GeForce256 card "the Via Apollo Pro 133, performs about on-par with the PC100 440BX" is no longer true. that new GPU really benefits from the PC133 that only Via can provide. anyone with the MAX600B from Micron can tell you this.
