Rambus will actually out perform DDR on a similar P4 setup, however, the little perfromance increase is not worth the price, and soon, Intel will no longer support Rambus at all.

Rambus prices just went down a lot :)

Acutally that's not entirely true. Rambus is not dead yet. They are hitting back. Look here -> http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/02q2/020501/index.html

Yeah the new p4 2.5ghz require Rambus, that is what made me think of it

Bruce, the RDRAM does not outperform DDR-RAM. Additionally, Rambus was getting into a lawsuit over something they did wrong... I forget what...

Don't argue you are just saying that because RAMBUS is for pentiums. So just don't argue anymore GC

Bleh!

I am saying that because that is the way it is. It is like why is the sky blue? Just because.

DDR: 333MHz

The numbers don't lie, however, there isn't as big of a performance increase as the numbers may indicate.

Well then your wrong GC
Why is Rambus faster? because it is 1066mhz why is ddr slower? Because it is 333mhz.

Let's please not argue about it, cause honestly I do not know much about them, My original post said "How does it perform?" I was interested because I had never knowingly used it. Or tested it

Edit: I decided that I won't respond to this horsecrap, being a big bundle of false assertions. It is proven time and time again, in all the benchmarks I have seen, that DDR performs better. I am guessing the structure of the DDR is vastly superior to RAMBUS.

If you decided then why did you respond after all?
Umm, well then stop going to amd.com to get your reviews

Because I want to make myself clear.

And you stop going to tomshardware (blech) who I accuse of colluding with Intel. Sorry, you probably don't know the word collusion but that is getting together and putting out false crap for others to read. Misleading crap to be accurate.

I have been to tomshardware once. Stop with your winey crap about how everything that favors intel is being bought by them. And no reviews are going to be more polluted than by AMD themselves. I know the market better than your ignorant, self-centered, egotistical, knowledge lacking, illiterate, anti-agreeable mind will ever know, if you had any idea of where my family came from. Do not argue, just go away!
Did I say what everyone has been wanting to say or did I leave something out?

Do me a favor and don't talk about economics. You make yourself look like a mumbling fool. You don't know a rat --- about what you are talking about. What does your family got to with anything? For all I know they a bums on the street and you collect money to pay for a internet cafe. But I don't know and I don't care. My dad has an MBA, and what does that mean? That my family has been in business for a long time. It goes back to the coal industry where my great grandfather worked in. My dad used to work in the petroleum industry. You know jack ---- about economics and that is the final statement I will make. You know nothing about the market or anything of that matter. Your ignorant stupidity is so overwhelming you don't know where to put your impudence on, whether it be on me or your disgustingly insolent views.

See there you go being a hypocrite again, you say what does my family have to do with it, but then you defend yourself by talking about your family. Jesus Loves you

It just shows I know about business and you don't.

And I am atheist.

Oh forget this... I can argue until the days on in... but this kid must bring my family into this (who were from a long line of industralists, and businessmen) and say I know nothing of the sort.

Well okay, carry on with your discussion I will take no part in this circus.

And guitarnerd, since your family is "great" then who exactly are they? :rolleyes:

I will just start from my Grand Parents...My Grand Father is the biggest fruit grower in California and I think he is the largest kiwi grower in the united states, He is also on the top of the board at Cal Poly University. My other Grandfather is a famous guitar maker, who made mosrite guitars for such people as, The Ventures, and a bunch of country singers I don't really like, such as Joe Maphis in the 60's-80's. My Father is an accountant/manager for the largest citrus packing and shipping company in california. All of which have a masters degree from major universaties around the united states. There are other accomplishments that I could state, but that is enough info about my family.

I will start with my great grand father (on my dad's side) who own a coal company worth over $75 million (which was a substantial amount in the days he was alive). My other great grand-father on my mom's side knew the Spanish Royalty, and was a very successful businessman making millions. My dad worked in the petroleum sector as a business analyst when living in Turkey. He has an MBA, and a Political Science Degree. He has served throughout the US government, and was working in the Pentagon. Now try and beat that?

First, I didn't ask cause I couldn't care less
Second, are you trying to compete? Because you are making this stupider than My dad can beat up your dad.
Third, you are being a hypocrite yet again. Big surprise there
:rolleyes:
And yes back on topic. Please, if you have rambus tell me how you think it is performing on your system

I am not going to compare anymore. Your stupidity shines right through. Also I am no hypocrite, at least not the one you are.

I have installed rambus on several computers in school and must come to the conclusion it is purely inferior because of a bad data instruction set and horrible architecture.

Also, I am not going to argue with some highly misinformed 14 or 15 year old.
