Dan, In nine of 11 standard industry benchmarks the 815E/PC133 synchronous DRAM implementation beat out the 820/Rambus configuration for desktop PCs. The two chip sets and different memory formats were about equal in three of those tests, according to results on Intel's Web site. Be careful Dan, we don't want to confuse the longs with facts! Intel is clearly biased against Rambus, and their results can't be trusted. To paraphrase James Carville: "It's the latency, stupid". Scumbria

Dan, Would you not expect the 815 to be faster than the 820, seeing as the designs are a year apart? I don't know where you have been hiding, but in the high tech world, performance tends to improve with time. If you need proof of that, watch for the P4/RDRAM benchmarks and seeif any SDRAM system can compete using any Intel or AMD based architecture.
