Question for those on the Rambus bus: A year ago I paid $700 for a 400MHZ AMD with P100 128MB Ram. Where can I go to upgrade to this svelte and speedy Rambus that I keep hearing about. And how much is it going to cost to upgrade the chip and the ram? I'm confused as hell, I can't even find unRambus ram faster than P133 but I sure as hell can find chips that support P200 Ram. Whasuuuuuuuuup!!
