Hi all; Anandtech pans RDRAM again in June 5 Thunderbird review: The fastest official platform for the Pentium III is still the i820 + RDRAM setup which is still entirely too expensive to justify the relative lack of a performance increase over competing platforms. Clock for clock the Thunderbird is generally faster than the Pentium III on all of its official platforms (BX, 820, 133A) although in some cases the Thunderbird is edged out by the Pentium III on an 820 + RDRAM setup. ... Otherwise the decision is pretty much a toss up and one that only you can make for yourself. The only suggestion we can make is to stay away from the 820 + RDRAM platform for now, it is entirely too expensive for an end user; unless the price of RDRAM comes down there is no reason to pursue the platform. anandtech.com -- Carl
