Thanks for the reply Bilow. But aren't they comparing PC800 with PC2400 or even PC2700 prices to get to this parity statement? I am still a bit confused about this. I have read in the hammer specs that it is unregistered DDR they are going to use; whether they would also use registered, I cannot really see why, maybe only if you wanted a lot of modules for a server. However if they can handle up to 4 GByte this way I doubt very much they will go higher on one hammer.The multi-hammers will take care of that with 4 GByte hanging off each of 4 hammers, accessible to each of them in "glueless" connection (whatever that is exactly). I see the hammer as a screaming fast chip and hope AMD makes the schedule or improves on it. Cheers Cor

Bilow, I think you can settle the unregistered vs registered ddr thing now. Other than the Tyan mobo, we've got msi, asus, shuttle, epox, soyo mobos for P4 and athlon-XP, none of them appear to work with the registered buffered DDR sticks. However, the only registered sticks we have are the 1GB ones from Kingston. They only work on the Tyan dual athlon-mp mobos. Note further only 1GB ddr sticks are all registered and buffered, otherwise we won't even get any due to the price premium. Isn't jdaasoc is in the business of moving boxes? I think he would have a very clear idea of what sticks are moving and what isn't. Right? ---- I don't know about circuitcity, but today, I can't find a single rambus desktop system in Fry's online store. shop2.outpost.com --- egghead (amazon) has 1/52 desktop systems with rdram (still lots of sdram even on P4) egghead.com (have to search for ALL desktops after being redirected to amazon, it is script based, so saving the link was a waste of time). --- bestbuy, however, still has 13/37 desktop systems with rdram, note however they're all by alienware, there are basically 4 case color variations with 4 cpu speeds. bestbuy.com (if above links don't work, search for them by hunting down desktop systems). Love that cyborg green and conspiracy blue case! At least on the online retail side, namebrand P4 desktops SKUs with rdram today are shrinking rapidly. SbH
