Magic Michael - Re: "it performs WORSE than pcc133 sdram on MOST benchmarks I have seen , on a BX board..." The 440BX is a 100 MHz SDRAM design - that is all it was designed for. Re: "why pay 4 times as much for a solutions wich is only better in CERTAIN aspects (Bandwith!)...?" If RAMBUS and 733 MHz Coppermines are the FASTEST at performing critical applications - which appears to be the case for MANY APPLICATIONS - MANY people will buy such systems. Maybe your friends won't - and maybe you won't - but in the big scheme of things, that doesn't matter one twit. You seem to think that the only thing people want is ATHLON fast - and not INTEL FAST. Once again, your narrow minded view is wrong. Paul
