PC1066 RDRAM vs. DDR SDRAM

Brad wrote into send us his "Comparison of PC1066 RDRAM vs DDR SDRAM. Quote - RDRAM is considerably more expensive that DDR SDRAM, and up until now the 100MHz PC800 specification didn't do well in comparison. Just recently 133MHz PC1066 was launched, and is now officially supported by the new Intel P4 and the Intel 850E core logic chipset, but this time promises to bring memory performance to the next level."

DDR??

What does Dance Dance Revolution have to to with SDRAM??

Re:1066?

Because 1215, 1776 and 1787 don't mean much in the technological world anymore, thanks to the intellectual "property" cartel?

I think I'll wait until The guy who wrote this hardware report writes on this issue.

Doom 3 Benchmarks with Memory

[DarkHelmet]

Pentium 2.4ghz, 1 gig memory

RDRAM 1066: 2.04 fps
RDRAM 800 2.03 fps

DDRRAM 2100 2.03 fps
DDRRAM 3200 2.05 fps.

Conclusion

I think we have a clear winner here. PC3200 DDR wipes the floor with the competition. Anyone who's invested in RDRAM is a loser, and knows it :). Too bad it took such a blatent lead in these upcoming Doom3 benchmarks in order to prove it.

Tune in next week to our program to find out how you really should say it.... Tom-ay-to, or Tom-ah-to.
