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.

TIA -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Kimberly Smith Sent: 29 octobre, 2001 14:05 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:20 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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. ROR m���m >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/29/01 11:10AM >>> 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.

And XP is faster than WinNT or Win2K if you have 256 MB. We could not test the server side yet.
