<However, doesn't the Camino/820 chip set support DDR SDRAM as well as RAMBUS Direct RDRAM?>

I don't know. In my mind, DDR SDRAM and Rambus' RDRAM have equivalent bandwidth, but RDRAM is better because it's electrically cleaner and it can keep more pages open at a time. Having those multiple pages open can help when requests for data come from both the processor and the AGP device concurrently.

Paul, I just found out that the Camino chipset will not support DDR SDRAM. Those guys in Folsom are fully committed to RDRAM.
