JC, <You miss my point, which is that NO single test should be considered a primarily important benchmark in its class.> Nah, I actually got your point, believe it or not. But then again, some people on this thread think that too many benchmarks will clutter a review. I don't, because I like in-depth analysis, but I think some people are still longing for the days when a few simple benchmarks were enough to paint an accurate picture of performance. Tenchusatsu

JC- What I really want to know is what effect a change to DDR or SDR will have on Willy performance. Intel has officially announced that rambus will only be a high end memory- and perhaps it will even wither completely. (It's not in servers, business will never use it because of upgrade difficulty, and it's too expensive for mainstream- leaving workstations and enthusiasts- is this enough to justify a fab line?) And what is this new higher pin Willy which is coming down the line. There were rumors that it had an integrated memory controller- is that true?
