"My point to you is that to exhibit moral outrage at minor personal indiscretions, and overlook the damage a President can do with a Vietnam war or a bad environmental policy, is unusually thickheaded." Oh, okay, good point, a body bag or two shouldn't matter, don't be petty, right? Hey, forget about a murder here or a rape there, look at what other Presidents did 40 years ago, now that was a big deal. Unbelievable. John, those were examples of Bill's lack of morals, do you suggest that since Vietnam was a much bigger deal, that these things did not happen or that they do not matter? talk about thickheaded, no, I'll just say stupid. jim

John, This was my first post on the Intel thread wrt RDRAM: To:William Triplett who wrote (69049) From: Scumbria Tuesday, Nov 24, 1998 2:11 AM Respond to of 131298 William, The only real value that DRDRAM offers on a motherboard is a narrow datapath, which lowers manufacturing costs. It will do little for CPU performance, and probably nothing for graphics performance. Graphics performance is largely limited by the speed of the AGP bus, so high bandwidth memory will be choked off. AGP 4X will help graphics performance considerably. Scumbria Message 6542279 Here are my other RDRAM posts through mid-June 2000: I still haven't figured out why anybody cares about RDRAM on the motherboard. I wish that someone could explain the theory behind it's benefits. Typically, a microprocessor bursts data in and out 32 bytes at a time. Attaching RDRAM to a microprocessor is like using a train to deliver the family groceries two blocks away. It starts slowly, and most of it's capacity is never used.
