I could swear that the 256MB RIMM4200 at newegg was $170 or $180 yesterday and now today it's at $130! anyone know if it's going to drop any more? Now may be the time for me to jump on my new system :D

I noticed a drop, in performance from what it was expected to be...
I haven't been following up on the prices though. :p
That's a pretty big price drop for that. :eek: Go ahead and buy it. Remember, you only have one life, go ahead and enjoy it. :)
It should drop quickly...the only reason it was so expensive was because of the extremely limited supply...production is ramping up and the prices are coming down.Quote:

? From everything I've seen it performs nearly identically to conventional DC RDRAM 1066...which is exactly what it is and how it was supposed to perform. Still faster than DDR though.Quote:

Still championing DDR I take it? ;)
ButcherBeard did a bench run that was 200 points higher than my best PC1066 run. And my 1066 run was 100 or so points better than any DDR runs I have seen. 200 to 300 better than most of the optimized Ddr results I have seen. So it is safe to say that Rimm4200 is at least 300 points better in Sandra scores than maximized Ddr. And this is with a chip set that is getting very old as chip sets go.
based on what?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: is that the triple roll award. Ive tried the ddr you keep preaching about and the performance with a P4 isnt even close. Please give a rest. RDRAM on its worse day is faster than ddr.Quote:

Wow, some people just like being ignorant and jumping to conclusions.
My point was that the RIMMS4200 was supposed to be a new OCing king, while in reality, it hasn't gone much higher (That I've seen) further than the PC1066.
I guess you missed the screenies of RIM4200 pulling 4.6gb/s of bandwidth ;)Quote:

I think it's a little early to say it doesn't live up to the hype, because none actully has any yet, save for BB.
Yeah I think that was the point everyone is trying to make about your statement.:eek:Quote:

It's early for any speculation, so it's only given that any opinion so far is based off of that.Quote:

4.6gbps is nice, but it also has to OC well.
I'm not going to get into a DC DDR vs RDRAM argument, but DC DDR400 will be 6.4gbps, and is right around the corner. Don't want to rain on anyones parade.
I'll eat crow if disproved though. :)
That was oc'd i think the guy was running about 160 @ 4x. Dont hold me to that though. It was actully posted up here.Quote:

DC DDR will be like early PC800, it wont oc worth a damn :) But i'm not going to get into a DC DDR v RDRAM argument either.
Isnt DC DDR already here? the E7500?Quote:

Elaborate on "The E7500"?Quote:

yes it is. but thats a workstation board. only dc ddr 200.Quote:

c'mon crawlingeye, you are the biggest dc ddr chearleader, and you haven't heard this yet?;)
oh, and rimm 4200 has been oc'ing like a champ. but the asus boards are very quirky, working sporadically on certain fsb. like not working from 133-150 fsb, but then working fine at 165. highest i have seen i think was around 4x165 or so. that is a very good oc crawlingeye.
