Very interesting! Another problem mislaid at RAMBUS' door step by the enemy. :)

John, It sounds like you have identified a real difference between the 815 and 820, unrelated to the DRAM type. It also sounds like it skews the results towards SDRAM. Whatever the magnitude of this effect, it makes more sense for most PC buyers to get an 815 system than an 820 system. Scumbria

<Can you honestly state that there is a not a difference in disk transfer with ATA-66 vs ATA-100 interfaces with an ATA-100 hard drive.> Yes, I can. There is no difference for this particular benchmark: ixbt-labs.com "However, we also wanted to take a look at the influence of ATA/100 interface on the overall system performance and hence tested our systems with Content Creation Winstone2000. the results turned out practically the same for all interfaces. The largest difference mad only 0.1 point.." Therefore your last hope for possible DRDRAM performance advantage is gone. Sorry.
