Ten what do you think about these 2 points from the same article : - With RDRAM’s unfortunate legacy on the P3, the P4 inherits a negative stigma regarding performance, cost, manufacturability and availability. From the perspective of the end user and reseller, this may seem unavoidably clear, but Intel seems to deny the existence of a problem. In Intel’s memory roadmap presentation at IDF, Intel’s mounted a vigorous defense of Rambus with the proclamation that ‘RDRAM is the best solution’. - Recently, Intel has mysteriously ceased using the term ‘PC133’ when describing Brookdale. We think that there may be a good reason for this. PC133 is required to enable AGP4x, but when PC133 is synchronized to the P4 front side bus, we believe that it will synchronize at a 100MHz clock, not a 133MHz clock. This means that all performance critical operations on the bus will occur at the same performance level as Celeron platforms (100MHz). Even though the system may be populated with PC133, it will deliver the read performance of PC100.
