Jim, There seems to be some general confusion about the distinction between the P4 bus, and DRDRAM. Let me break this down into very simple terms. 1. P4 supports two channels of high bandwidth memory. As a result, it scores very high on bandwidth dependent benchmarks. 2. The only current chipset for P4 is DRDRAM. When a DDR chipset is available for P4, we will be able to do an apples to apples comparison between DDR and DRDRAM. My guess is that DDR will win. It is absurd to compare current P4/DRDRAM systems with P3 or Athlon DDR systems, and draw any meaningful conclusions about DRDRAM vs. DDR bandwidth. This concept is very simple, and I am amazed that keeps coming up on the thread. Scumbria
