When I had my RDRAM machine, before I sent it back to Dell, I posted that RDRAM was a waste of money, as I could not see and increase in speed, and I use some heavy programs man.

Take a boo at this from ZDNET today:

SNIP:
>RDRAM has been controversial because of its relatively high price and lackluster performance, as shown even on Intel's own benchmark test. Some consumers have refused to adopt the technology for those reasons.<

And Tom's hardware's review of RDRAM is right on the money. It sucks. DDR SDRAM like they are using in the new high end video cards is the way to go.

In my opinion RDRAM is history.
