Dan:
Intel's 4XXGX series has had 4 SDRAM channels since 1996

also

The reference Daniel Schuch? gave for an ALI chipset with 2 SDRAM channels.
tomshardware.com;

So it seems multiple SDRAM channel systems do exist but they don't add any benefits performance wise. Their only benefit is support higher total memory capacities because of the extra DIMM sockets on mothereboard.

I will rephrase my question:
Are there any multi channel SDRAM systems that have higher performance strictly from a faster memory channel throughput.

Hey Dan

No matter how much to try to make RDRAM look bad you make it look better, better, better

Dan3,
When will there be 4 channel RDRAM system?

I'll give you one better. The Compaq EV7 (Alpha 21364) will have 8 channel RDRAM (12.8GB/s).
