Jozef, let's just say that Intel is looking at things from a very different point-of-view than Herr Uberclockermeister. DDR SDRAM and RDRAM, in my opinion, will be similar in performance, and neither will have a distinct advantage over the other. However, DDR has several features that make it more desirable for servers, while RDRAM's low pin count makes it more desirable for desktops and workstations. There will be some crossover, for sure, but it's apparent to me that Intel wants RDRAM to succeed on the desktop, and they will do everything it takes to continue past the huge hurdles and headaches of initial RDRAM implementation. Oh, and by the way, CAS2 PC133 does not handily beat RDRAM, despite what Tom Pabst claims. A properly-designed 440BX chipset running at 133 MHz would run substantially slower than Tom's overclocked system. Tenchusatsu
