Slickster - Re: " My gut feel is that the longer raw latencies of RDRAM will also translate to longer average latencies in a system." Just as I suspected. Your endless babbling posts about latency-this and bandwidth-that have been nothing but your "gut feel". Why don't you do a little work and get some DATA instead of pretending to know something. Which you admittedly DON'T ~~!! Better yet, put a CORK in it. Paul

<My gut feel is that the longer raw latencies of RDRAM will also translate to longer average latencies in a system.> OK, let's assume you're right, and RDRAM latencies are longer. What immediate impact will this have on a system with proper caching? What about those cache-streaming instructions found in KNI? Hey, even 3DNow has a prefetch instruction, which I'm sure the K7 will find very useful in filling up that 200 MHz processor bus. And what are some of the DRAM technologies that solve latency in the first place, and how do they achieve it? Tenchusatsu
