Jon- 2 questions, please:
(note that I think highly of AMD from everything I've heard, just am curious) (1) what is crippled with DDR? not sure I understand you and (2) why are Rambus mgmt scumbags? am probably going to replace pc within a year, and the new smaller (.13 micron) die will allow the speeds to hit 3 GHz by end of 2002, I've heard. Dell is selling top-end P4's with dual-channel Rambus, next series down with DDR. Opinions welcome. Thanks. -Ben > I agree with Jochem 100% and am personally a big AMD fan...I'm buying a > Hammer as soon as possible, but I wouldn't shy away from reccomending a P4 > 2.2 at all to anyone if I couldn't convince them to get an Athlon.
