By the time DDR Vaporware is available it will have to contend with this: Rambus announced its strategic initiatives to double the bandwidth of the current RDRAM and quadruple the bandwidth of today's RIMM memory modules. Rambus has been working on these newer technologies for several years and already has test chips that validate these target performance specifications. These developments will enable RDRAMs next year to outperform DDR devices by a factor of eight. If you can talk vaporware, I can talk vaporware (by a factor of 8).

I must have touched an AMDroid nerve with that last post!<LOL> You seem to be really irritated that the DELL 1 GHZ machine defeated both the Gateway and the Compaq 1 GHZ Athlon's by up to 50% in the 3-D and graphics tests. :)

Ali, Did you notice the date of the article? Which month it is now? Jim's right -- you must really be frantic to nitpit something like this. The article is exactly one month old. What exactly do you think has changed in one month? Do you think the 1GHz Athlon processors magically improved their performance in that time? Until something new comes out from AMD (3-6 months?) the PIII/820/RDRAM will be the performance king. Add that to the rapid price declines on RDRAM, and you're woefully behind the curve. Dave
