This Vince guy is your alter ego carl. He's saying Northwood P4 with RDRAM is cat's meow. Until recently Intel was irrevalent for performance desktop between $1,500 and $3,000,since Athlon smoked everyting P4 and XEON P4 Intel put out. Something tells Vince's review is going to be the repeated in terms of conclusions elsewhere. What's your feelings about RDRAM when Intel business computers all will be 2 GHZ + Northwood machines where Cheap DRAM will be either only SDRAM or there will be nothing considered cheap DRAM. AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Review By Vince Freeman : January 8, 2002 Benchmark Analysis Basically, the Athlon XP 2000+ takes a back seat to the Pentium 4-2.2 GHz in most of the important benchmarks, but it does so with one very important distinction. You really need one of those pricy i850/RDRAM systems to make full use of the performance advantage, while the Athlon XP 2000+ looks to be a slightly better performer than the Pentium 4-2.2 GHz when paired with the i845D. In some ways, it's a toss-up which one is truly faster, but the Athlon XP 2000+ definitely pushes the Intel P4-2.2/i850 and beats the P4-2.2/i845D in most benchmarks.
