RE: OT : from Win XP to RDRAM or SDRAM ?

The member is considerably faster.  If speed is your most important factor
then yes it is well worth it.



But AMD has bought the rights to a new type of member that exceeds RDRAM and
will be considerably cheaper.  I don't know how public this is yet but this
should give AMD a good nitch into the market to help fight Intel.



AMD has already took a large market share due to the flop Pentium 4.
The Pentium 4 was released lacking many features just so it will be stable.
So what you really have is a watered down Pentium 4.  Not to mention the
need to buy Intel PS, Case, MB and such.



I am not an AMD fan, I always stayed away from their chips once they hit the
Pentium market, but 1.2GHz and higher they just smoke Pentiums.  Their fast,
cheap, and very relievable.  All the problems AMD used to have in the
100-900Mhz time frame have seem to gone away.  They have become a very
strong competitor.  With Intel having the Alpha technology is certainly a
hurt for AMD.



But without my ramblings, I would go AMD 1.4-1.5GHz and DDR memory, it is a
very quick system, and very reasonably priced.  And they actually have Dual
AMD boards now with 64bit PCI which is nice for the smaller servers.

Let's say someone is buying a new pc Pentium 4, is the
cost of the RDRAM memory chip is worth the performance
compare to SDRAM ?

Hum, you got ripped off.  I just put in a 512MB SDRAM
for $69 bring


me to a grand total of 780MB but that is at home.  At
work I actually


do have 512MB in my machine as well.

Chuck,


 Have you checked the prices for ram lately? a 256
SDRAM is $26 and a 256


RAMBUS is around $108. These prices also depent on the
machine manufacture.


A 256 RAMBUS for my Dell is $899. My server is a
generic box running Linux


and the 256 RAMBUS chip is $108.


Contact me offline if you need site info for the
prices.

In Hungary you get it for $25. It's the price of 4-5
McDonald's BigMac menu


:-). It is nothing compared to the time you loose
waiting and watching the


hour glass for a simple process to finish it's job.

The client side seems to work for us. And XP is faster
than WinNT or Win2K


if you have 256 MB. We could not test the server side
yet.
