Fyo, The P4 may not be the greatest chip out there right now, but it looks very tough to beat on .13µ coupled with DDR-SDRAM If wishes were horses..... performance isn't going to be quite as good as with Rambus memory Two "channels" of DDR should be significantly faster than two channels of RDRAM.

Dear Fyo: Orignally the P4 was to be a barn burner but, it turned out to be a wimp. Theory is good, but experience is better. When it arrives and third parties can test it letting the chips fall where they do, could I be convinced that the rework succeeded. Intel has claimed a lot of things that turned out to be untrue. So has AMD and a lot of other companies. But, right now, Tbird beats P4. The tests I have seen with P4 on single channel RDRAM shows that it will underperform greatly on SDRAM and single channel DDR to the point that even P3 beats it almost all of the time. Pete
