Anand's tests weren't quite rigged.... The BX chipset generally outperforms the VIA chipset by 3% to 10% at the same clock speed: www4.tomshardware.com But Anand's "memory test" always compares 133 VIA to 100 BX, implying that this is a valid characterization of the difference in memory performance, rather than the difference in chipset performance. Those tests would have been much more meaningful had they included runs at 100MHZ on the VIA board. Dan

Dan, <do you think that Rambus will be able to justify its (expected 25% to 75%) price premium over DDR?> That's what's known as a "leading question." Lawyers love to try and pull that trick. But let's assume you're right. Then I think Rambus will be able to justify a 25% premium over DDR, but not a higher one. The reason is that a 25% premium isn't going to mean squat, except in servers where the capacities are huge. Then it turns into a question of which memory technology is being adopted more by the big guys, and I don't mean just Intel. Tenchusatsu
