Hi richard surckla; The top 4 computers used DDR. Here's the scores and memory types for those 10 top "Power" machines, ranked from best to least best: Computer Score Memory --------------- ----- --------- Xi 1400 242 DDR SDRAM Sys Perf 1333TD 237 DDR SDRAM Poly 880KR-1300 237 DDR SDRAM MicroFlex 1333A 231 DDR SDRAM Gateway S1700 224 RDRAM Sys Perf 1700 215 RDRAM Micron Max XP2 210 DDR SDRAM NuTrend Mega 2 210 DDR SDRAM Dell GX400 203 RDRAM Dell Dim 8100 198 RDRAM pcworld.com Here's a quote from the article, you silly: AMD Athlon processors extend their lead over Intel's Pentium 4 competition with the debut of the 1.4-GHz Athlon CPU. Athlon-based systems often grab higher PC WorldBench 2000 scores than their PIII and P4 counterparts, and this month is no exception. The highest score on the chart is a blazing 242 from Xi Computer's 1400 MTower SP. pcworld.com Here's another: WHAT'S HOT: Xi's 1400 MTower SP includes an AMD Athlon-1400 processor with 256MB of 266-MHz DDR SDRAM, and 82GB of storage space available on two hard drives connected to an IDE RAID card. All this led the 1400 MTower SP to a PC WorldBench 2000 score of 242, the highest we've seen yet for a Windows 2000 system. pcworld.com But even if RDRAM had provided the highest scores, wouldn't it have bothered you that there were more DDR machines than RDRAM? After all, this is *before Intel supports DDR*. What will the situation be like when the 7 DDR chipsets for the P4 are all out there? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! -- Carl
