And the evidence keeps mounting:

The long-awaited AMD760 chipset LOSES to a KT133 in Sisoft sandra:

Drystone MIPS (higher is better):
DDR: 3124
SDRAM:3168

Whetstone MFLOPS (higher...)
DDR: 1524
SDRAM: 1528

Memory Bandwidth (CPU):
DDR: 470
SDRAM: 459

Memory Bandwidth (FPU):
DDR: 622
SDRAM: 547

3DMark2000:
DDR: 379
SDRAM: 374

WinBench99 Business Graphics:
DDR: 499
SDRAM: 513

WB99 High-end graphics:
DDR: 1470
SDRAM: 1500

Quake 3 Arena 640x480x16 NORMAL:
DDR: 158.1
SDRAM: 156.2

Quake 3 Arena 640X480X32 HQ:
DDR: 156.4
SDRAM: 154.4

Estimated price for this Tyan AMD760 board? $200 (compare to $130 for a
comparable Pentium-3 board).

So--costs more, works less. Such a deal.

DDR is dead.
