Tenchusatsu, I've read your posts on the Rambus thread and the Intel thread and they've been quite informative. Your input is much appreciated and I'd like to encourage you to keep it up! Thanks again, Doug

Ten, Intel is usually forward-looking when it introduces new technologies like RDRAM. It makes sense when you realize that these technologies are there to remove potential bottlenecks which can hamper the performance of faster and faster CPU's. The cache line size of CPUs being only 32 bytes, what benefit is there for connecting them to high bandwidth dram? Bursts in and out of the CPU are of extremely short duration for the vast majority of applications. Latency is far more important than bandwidth on the desktop. Scumbria
