Prophet, I was being serious (nearly). It depends so much on the particular benchmark and how much of it runs in cache and how random the memory accesses are and much more besides. You may not realise that I am a bit behind the times when it comes to fast computers. My main machine is a Celeron 333 with 320 Mbyte of SDRAM. The bus runs at 66MHz. It is very reliable with W2000 sp2. Surprising as it might seem, I agree with those who recommend more memory rather than faster memory as the first priority - my machine is actually quite fast -although I do have some fast Ultra SCSI discs on dual controllers and swap files distributed among multiple discs. Returning to your question - SDRAM will undoubtedly be significantly slower than Rambus, but I am not in a position to say by how much. John
