ok.. just a little help here

Ok i got a dumb little question for you all. What speed is the pc-2100 ddr ram running at and the pc-1600. Like the pc-133 interal clock is 133 mhz. Also... is the drr ram faster than the RD ram?

Thanks, Andy

PC2100 runs at a double data rate 133 MHz bus - you will sometimes hear this referred to as a 266 MHz bus.
PC1600 runs at a double data rate 100 MHz bus - also referred to as 200 MHz.

So, in general, if you are getting a 200 MHz FSB Athlon, it's better to get PC1600, if you're getting a 266 MHz FSB Athlon, it's better to get PC2100, that way the processor and memory buses are in synch.

As far as it being faster than RDRAM, that's sort of a technical gray area. RDRAM on the new Pentium 4 systems generally have more bandwidth because they utilize two channels, versus all of the DDR-SDRAM motherboards, which only use one.
For more info, Raystonn could probably give you a much more in depth difference between RDRAM and DDR-SDRAM.

I heard the Crush chipset may have two pipelines. Would this make DDR better than RDRAM?

do a search for this mother board it has 6.4 gb/s with pc 1600 ram

Talking about desktop-gaming solutions. I think this mobo may be a bit too pricey.

yeh i shows what can be done that what i was trying to point out


know just to wait until this technology filters down to the regualr market
