There you go again with your deceit: "Your suggestion that the bandwidth of DRAM used in servers is not relevant, is patently absurd." That was a quote from you in the post I am replying to. I have included your whole sentence, including the opening capital letter (that's the big 'Y' <g>) and your full stop ('.'). Here is what I said about the relevance of RAM bandwidth in servers: Message 13867767 "Of course this "effective bandwidth" is important. The best ways to improve this are to increase total RAM or speed up the disk subsystem. Switching between DRDRAM or DDR will be negligible in comparison for a server, hence Intel's decision on server chipsets." and Message 13865223 "The capacity is the only consideration for not having RDRAM in servers. Cost/performance are irrelevant in comparison." If you read carefully, you will see the words "in comparison" in both those quotes from me. I know that "comparison" is a big word, but if you use copy and paste, you will be able to quote the whole statement, rather than just home in on the word "relevant" and go off deceiving people all out of context. And, of course, I stand by the statement that for servers, where many gigabytes of data are being served, the RAM bandwidth is not relevant in comparison <g> to the amount of RAM in the system. I hope I have helped you, you may have the last word cos this is getting a bid tedious now.
