Dale, Re: "According to PC World, P4 with Via's unlicensed DDR chipset is as much faster than P4 with DRDRAM as P4 with DRDRAM is faster than P4 with SDRAM. I would anticipate that the i845 with DDR would be even faster." I'm not that optimistic, but any kind of performance gains with i845-D will be good news for Intel. wanna_bmw

According to PC World, P4 with Via's unlicensed DDR chipset is as much faster than P4 with DRDRAM as P4 with DRDRAM is faster than P4 with SDRAM. I would anticipate that the i845 with DDR would be even faster. Dale, do you have a link to a PC World article that goes into detail on this? If P4 with Via's unlicensed DDR chipset is much faster than P4 with DRDRAM, is it latency that gets most of the performance improvement? Also, why do you expect Intel's DDR implementation to be faster than Via's? Because Intel normally beats third parties in chipset related performance? Thanks, Tony
