Re: "Previous workstations included a single channel for data to flow between the processor and the memory, restricting bandwidth to 800 megabytes per second. The IntelliStation M Pro features dual channels of 1.6 gigabytes each, more than doubling the bandwidth"

More than doubling? Sounds like quadrupling to me.

RE <<<"IBM IntelliStation M Pro Completely Redesigned to Tackle Creative Problems Posed by Digital Design

It features new Intel Pentium(b) III processors running at speeds up to 733 MHz (1), with a new 133 MHz front side bus. ...The IntelliStation M Pro was designed with the Intel 840 chipset to support up to 2 gigabytes of high-performance Rambus ECC memory. ">>

GREAT!!! So why is intc down 2 3/8? I know, I know! Intc is so far ahead of everyone else, no one gets it.

WRONG!!!

Paul, re:<check this out>
At IBM's RDRAM prices, why would anyone want it?

IBM Memory: 64MB, 128MB and 256MB ECC RAMBUS RIMMs - prices starting at $405

So, $810 for a minimum configuration of 128M

IBM Memory: 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and 512MB non-parity and ECC SDRAM DIMMs -- prices starting at $109

SDRAM ~= 1/4th the price
