Re: the 840 PC800 has better memory latency than SDRAM

Actually, you are wrong. The chart shows that only the Apollo BX PC133 occasionally got slightly lower scores than the 840 PC800 at low bandwidth. The Apollo a Pro 133 did worse than the 840 PC800 at the low bandwidths and about the same as the 840 PC600.

The SDRAM system latencies started to fall apart at about 375 MB/sec and all were significantly worse than even the 820 PC800 at 440 MB/sec. All the SDRAM based systems had terrible latency at 500 to 600 MB/sec compared to the 820 and 840 systems.
