PC1066 RDRAM vs. DDR SDRAM

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tweaking-something-out dept.

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."

    What a bogus comparison.

    PC2100 is old news, and 1066 RDRAM is just being released.

    The proper comparison would have been against PC3200, or PC2700 at least.

    N.B., I've been using PC2700 in my machine for two months. PC3200 is about 33% more expensive.
