As I mentioned before, with DDR-sdram you usually have to throw your old memory away any time you upgrade memory, and 3 DDR-sdram slots work only if two memory modules are single-sided, and usually every dimm is double-sided.Quote:

simple, he just doesn't wanna grab the concept that RDRAM is better. so don't try any harder ;)Quote:

I know that RDRAM is better, but the way you guys make it sound you act like it smokes DDR. As you can tell from my Mem benches...and yours...it's very meinal diffrence bewtween the two(about 200MB/s:rolleyes: And remeber what I told you, my Ram is still at agreesive timings, I can relax back on them some and push it even further and possibly get back in teh range of 100Mb/s, which RDRAM is still faster..but again It's so menail it's not gonna be seen in a real world application.Quote:

The arguement that RDRAM is better because you cn use two firrent brands is kind of stupid, I mean I personally would never mix brans of RAM, wheter it be SDRAM, DDR, or RDRAM. plus DDR is a more flexible platform, I mean knowing that you dont HAVE to buy 2 sticks is a good thing. Cuz no mater what with RDRAM curretnly you HAVE to buy 2 sticks no matter what.
my score was better than urs by a 200mb/s score....but ur RAM was overclocked to the max....my RDRAM was only overclocked to 900 MHz.Quote:

here are the 1066 MHz. RAM scores...now u can compare..

Ok so 300Mb/s. AGAIN I can't seem to stress this enough to you:rolleyes:..... I am at agressive settings, I still have more headroom. SO again if my ram was maxed, it wouldp probably be 100Mb/s. Yes, Yes, Yes I know you'll say that I don't have it right now, and I don't but like I told you three other times, wait til I get my other stuff, and OC this to teh MAX. Then we can compare our MAX benchies.Quote:

yes u got that right. u do not have that.Quote:

i can go on forever. "hey if i get water cooling i can overclock to 2.7 GHz. and smoke ur score"
that is not the way it goes around. i'm sure anyone would agree with me. so till the time comes ...i think 300 mb/s advantage is something to be sniffed at :):rolleyes:
:( Maximus, relax, I never disputed the fact that RDRAM is faster.Quote:

i am relaxed dude. i respect u coz u have a good amount of knowledge. i just don't like it when someone doesn't want to admit a fact. u were hinting that DDR RAM is better....why? coz upgrading is easier....now that isn't a solid point here.Quote:

RDRAM overclocks better.
RDRAM is faster. (even with whatever latencies they talk about)
and i have proved that with my benchmarks...i'm not just talking **** :)
anyway m8. no big deal ;)
I think we all admitted that :D But I still stand by the fact that it's not as big as they make it out to be. ;)Quote:

BTW whens the next generation of RDRAM due out? Any kind of dates set for it?
I think I've proved that a DDR setup can beat an RDram setup at pc-1066 speeds.
I think that RDram is great but DDR is also a solid competitor.
i would say in 10-15 days when the i850E + i845E are going to be released ;)Quote:

where? can i c?
In the competition in 3Dmark between myself, KJY9, butcherbeard, mysitfmagic and some others.
check my sig. I currently have the highest 3D mark on SF. (for now anyway heh heh)
however when actual pc-1066 comes out that can overclock to pc-1200 then you will see me switching to i850e:cool:
