    Why the hell does using DDR memory even the results? The Pentium 4 was designed for RDRAM for God's sake. A DDR platform for the P4 is just an economy decision.

    To make things really even, you could take a hammer and drive the P4 into a socket A Motherboard. Then you could really compare them, couldn't you? Perfectly even field.
