Re: DDR SDRAM is now in common use for video cards that certainly aren't 12 layer, (does anyone know if they are even 6 layer which seems to be necessary for Rambus). Video cards use a fixed number of chips and are not the same as motherboard design for an extensible memory system. You are equating apples to oranges. Not bad news at all! Not a whole lot of difference between the benchmarks with the 820 winning some and the "laboratory queen" DDR system wining some. There should only be a %5-10% difference (820 board)between SDRAM and RDRAM at 700 MHZ. At a 1GHZ the difference becomes larger and at 1.5 GHZ (Willamette) the edge becomes pronounced. Notice that no comparison was made with the 840 board which would soundly trounce the DDR board shown in the benchmarks. :)
