Scumbria, Re: Performance improvement for PC 133/RDRAM Look it's pretty clear this memory argument is a bunch of hogwash. If we can expect a 1-2% improvement then nobodys going to pay extra for it. Perhaps Intel will have the benchmarks "fixed" to properly reflect the performance of RDRAM and PC 133 just like they did with the celery. The idiot who bet the farm on Rambus at Intel to the tune of a few billion dollars should be shot. They could have bought a real company for that kind of money!!! I also think AMD is making a huge marketing blunder by no publicly supporting PC 133 and pushing it against Celerys lower bus speeds. Yes, I know the bus speed is irrelevant but the regular Joe doesn't understand this - remember Mhz sells. Regards, Kash

<The dependency of High End Winstone on memory bandwidth is interesting. Good catch!> Yeah, kind of makes me that much more appreciative for the way Tom Pabst does his CPU benchmarking. Tenchusatsu
