Richard: "In the quest for even more speed, sources say AMD is also looking into using RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) in future Athlon processors...If Intel does go with RDRAM, commonly referred to as Rambus memory, AMD may have the upper hand as far as price competition between upcoming Athlon processors sporting the 760 chip set with DDR SDRAM and future Pentium IV processors, industry experts say." I don't buy the "If" part. Also, w/ the INTC rebate, incremental system cost for RDRAM in the INTC boxes is likely to be CONSIDERABLY LESS than the incremental system cost of these hypothetical Athlon/DDR boxes. What the hell, at least the DDR boxes will glow in the dark for the extra $$. ROTFLMAO BP

AMD is looking to use RDRAM Ouch Droids! Thanks Richard for the find. "In the quest for even more speed, sources say AMD is also looking into using RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) in future Athlon processors. While a more expensive memory solution that requires the user to pay licensing fees, RDRAM outpaces DDR SDRAM by a considerable margin." pcworld.com
