blake,

You may have put your foot in your mouth on the latest...

You wrote: "Guess which one of the seven tested has RMBS? (clue: only one does - the winner). BTW, do you know what the numbers mean, Einstein?"

"1 GHz Pentium III systems with RDRAM beat our 1 GHz AMD
Athlon-based systems in a round of benchmarks by ZDNet. Unfortunately
for Rambus, this is because of a weakness in the current Athlon processor
(no L2 on-chip cache) and not because of the strength of RDRAM.

I guess there's no definitive answer yet.

Those results arnt very informative considering the Dell was the only machine running on an Intel 1GHz processor.... the rest had AMD chips 850-1GHz. Now your job this weekend is to get your head out of your @ss and find some meaningful RDRAM/SDRAM comparison tests.

everyone else have a good weekend,,
