We should start to see some Northwood benchmarks any time now. It will be nice to see how it does.

I'm very interested in several comparisons:

First identically configured N'wood vs. Willamette.

I'd also then like to see the effect of 533MHz bus (due Q2) vs. 400MHz bus.

PC1066 RDRAM vs. PC800 RDRAM

DDR 200/266 vs. PC600/800 RDRAM

DDR 333+ vs. PC1066RDRAM

I'm going to build a new system in Q2 once the 533MHz bus is a go, and right now I'm heavily leaning toward DDR unless the faster RDRAM offers a marked performance improvement.

It will do fine.

Moreover, it will have a lower die cost, higher availability, higher speed, lower power and it will hit the streets with i845B0 DDR chip sets.
