Rich, the guy is exaggerating like crazy. He isn't giving any specifics, the prices he gives are inaccurate, and some of the components he's listing are non-existent. Basically, he's spreading FUD. Tenchusatsu

RDRAM vs SDRAM reply to. >>>> 1) new P3-733EB($1300) with i820($300) and 128MB RDRAM($1600) for about $3,200 2) a pair of P3-667EB ($1900) on a dual-cpu UW-SCSI board ($540) with 256MB PC133 ($650)for about $3,100 If you're unsure about what is required of you, I'll spell it out in plain English. 1) Provide URLs or other sources of verifiable origin, which shows that an x86 Computer system with a single Pentium III CPU using 128MB RDRAM is faster than an equivalently priced dual Pentium III system using 256MB PC133 SDRAM. 2) For the system configuration, they should be using, apart from CURRENT motherboard, CPU, memory types, identical MODERN components. Which is to say pitting a P3-733EB with 128MB of RDRAM with a 30GB 10,000RPM UW-SCSI drive and 32MB Geforce DDR against a dual P3-667 with 256MB PC66 SDRAM, >>>>> I have no technical knowlege except the obvious. Why comapre 128MB RDRAM to 256MB SDRAM? 1) The costs of RDRAM WILL come down. 2) It is my understanding that RDRAM is fully scalable but SDRAM is not. If this is not the case whay is there pressure to build DDRAM ect.? Your comparisons based on current costs are FUD!
