Love to hear it, but how do you know what everyone else seems not to know? TIA

Sylvester, The P4 numbers will leave no doubts on what RDRAM brings. PC800 provides 1.6GB/s. DDR266 provides 2.1GB/s. You don't need to spend $3000 on a nonexistent P4 system to figure that out. Scumbria

<For that, you'll need the P4 memory benchmarks.> Of course, of course... Good thinking. Let say a car maker wants me to buy a new SUV with exceptional (in theory) wheels, that allow for extra-high speed. I tested it on a nearby terrain and found that it does not run any faster than my current SUV, but is slow to start and on sharp turns, threads may overheat and sometime get separated <g>, and all is way too expensive. Suppose I tell this to the car dealer, and he replies: "wait when all your raw terrain would be paved by asphalt, then my vehicle would blow your old car away!" No doubts.

Re: benchmarks show that P4 and RDRAM just plain scream together. Yes, trouble is, it is probably a scream of pain and embarrassment. Dan . I was, however, given a few more relevant (eg, at least one of them isn't made by a company that Intel owns part of) benchmarks that are scored normalized to a 1.00GHz Pentium III: 3DMark 2000 P4-1.40: 1.08 P4-1.50: 1.13 Quake III P4-1.40: 1.21 P4-1.50: 1.23 SysMark 2000 P4-1.40: 1.01 P4-1.50: 1.06 jc-news.com
