William, The only real value that DRDRAM offers on a motherboard is a narrow datapath, which lowers manufacturing costs. It will do little for CPU performance, and probably nothing for graphics performance. Graphics performance is largely limited by the speed of the AGP bus, so high bandwidth memory will be choked off. AGP 4X will help graphics performance considerably. Scumbria

> RDRAM not suited for servers There has been reports mentioning limitation of amount of RDRAM in the system because of the limitation on the size of the bus (which in turn limit slot number). Servers needs large amount of memory so this could be problematic. I do not know if this issue is resolved or not. Tim Just my 0.02$
