PC1066 RDRAM vs. DDR SDRAM

Zitat

It is quite evident from the benchmarks shown in this article that PC1066 RDRAM teamed with the Intel 850E chipset is currently the fastest, most superior and effective combination available for achieving the highest possible memory bandwidth. Intel started off in the right direction with the initial RDRAM support for their original line of Pentium 4s, but would have suffered in the long run if they didn't make the switch to DDR just in time to keep face with the growing demand, pressures, and competition from AMD. Until AMD or Intel produces a CPU that runs on a 166MHz or 200MHz data bus, the benefits from anything faster than PC2100 are going to be sorely missed on any DDR based platform.
