Hmm this fellow at YHOO takes issue: ,b>rbnelson missed something-- you can find CAS-Latency (CL2) PC2100, but it's marketed at PC2400. And it costs more than RDRAM (from pricewatch): PC800 RDRAM, 128MB: $31/$32* PC2400 DDR, 128MB: $39/$50* Crucial PC2100 128MB: $49.49 PC800 RDRAM, 128MB: $65/$68* PC2400 DDR 256MB: $64/$74* Crucial PC2100 128MB: $96.29 lowest entry average of all entries on first page. I also included prices from Micron's crucial.com website, since they do a lot of business even though ALL micron DDR is slower CL2.5. And they include free shipping. You can cadd $10-12 for the pricewatch vendors, on average, for shipping.

Dan, Re: "even DDR266 vs. PC1066 Rambus has double the bandwidth 266x8x2 vs. 533x2x2" Actually, the two aforementioned memory technologies offer equal bandwidth - if you are talking about single channel configurations. With the former, you should have used 133x8x2 for 2.1GB/s. PC1066 is still 533x2x2 for 2.1GB/s for bandwidth. Also, the new RIMM4200 standard is 533x4x2 for 4.2GB/s under single channel circumstances. The new Asus i850E based board will support this standard by wiring both memory channels to a single set of 32-bit RIMM slots, thus eliminating the need to "double up" on memory RIMMs. wbmw
