Jim, RDRAM's full performance potential will begin to be realized with Willamette which has a 400 MHZ front side bus (FSB). The current FSB's are 100 to 133 MHZ. We are in the beginning of a massive product transition to these new high performance processors. It depends on the clock speed of the CPU. At 1GHz, high bandwidth memory provides little benefit. At 2GHz, DRDRAM or DDR will be more important. Willy speeds are still somewhat of an unknown. Scumbria

Re: Spoken like a true AMDroid! How clever you are! RDRAM's full performance potential will begin to be realized with Willamette which has a 400 MHZ front side bus (FSB). The current FSB's are 100 to 133 MHZ. We are in the beginning of a massive product transition to these new high performance processors. Everyone with a technical ilk already knows these facts so your comments are boring and repetitive. Moreover, they are FUD to those less knowlegeable about these matters. Jim, You summed up my point better than I could. You sit here spewing out all this technical crap, but don't have the ability to apply it to the "real world". I even believe you that high bandwith Rambus will provide an advantage. All of this is irrelevent when it costs $500 per 128 MB. Even if it could get down to $200 per 128 MB, it would still be a serious problem for DRDRAM. Maybe when Willy starts shipping and nobody is buying them because they don't want to spend an extra $1000 just for the RAM, you will see my point. Until then, be happy in your delusional state, I'm sure you've made a lot of money over the past few days. chic
