RE:"Nearly every AMD Cheerleader site benchmarks AthWIpers with CAS 2 Latency DDR memory.
Yet most AThWiper based PCs ship with CAS 2.5 or CAS 3 latency DDR chips."

You just lucky as h$ll that the hardare sites don't start throwing in P4+SDRAM benches when they compare Athlons and P4s...
At retail, most all of what's on the shelves are P4+SDRAM units.
So talk about unrealistic...use Rambus to bench and then sell the poor sucker a P4 w/SDRAM based on Mhz...what a fraud...
I call it the "Intel bait and switch"...

As for cas 2 DDR-SDRAM. It's easily purchase...

Another lie from Mr. Engel -- I've bought 3 DDR memory boards and none of them even gives an option of CAS 3.

and wanna_bmw's lie:
<About 30-40% of all DDR memory produced is PC1600>

Yea, then why is PC2100 cheaper than PC1600 on Pricewatch?

$53 - PC2100 DDR 512MB
$21 - PC2100 DDR 256MB
$11 - PC2100 DDR 128MB

$64 - PC1600 DDR 512MB
$22 - PC1600 DDR 256MB
$12 - PC1600 DDR 128MB

$40 - PC1600 DDR 64MB
