I have the choice between 256 MB PC133 SDRAM or 128 MB RDRAM. So what gives the best results (faster??)
(Or should i instead better go with 256 MB RDRAM??????)

I would personally go with the 256MB PC133. RD RAM provides greater bandwidth, but latency times are slower. The extra 128MB of PC133 will also do you some good.

Everyone growns at "the high latency" of RIMMS... but I have never seen a number for this latency. Can a comparison be made with SDRAM latency so that I can get a sense of the "numbers"...

Both types fill the PIII's bus to its max, after that latency is the only thing that matters, SDRAM is faster with a PIII.
