I'm not quite sure why people don't think the P4 should be used with DDR in benchmarks. Doesn't it just level the playing field? Why should the P4 get RDRAM and not AMD? What would and XP2100 do aginst the P4 if it had RDRAM and the P4 had DDR like the XP usualy does? What makes Intel so special that they deserve to pump their cpu's with RDRAM and not AMD. If you ask me, I think its sad that a CPU needs 800mhz of ram speed just to keep up with the athlons. What I don't get is why is it that intel has all the numbers on their side (mhz, ram speed ect.) but still just barely beats AMD after all that pumping up. Doesn't that say something about the P4's archetiecture? Personaly I don't like the constant battles between AMD users and Intel, but I do ask that you look at the validity of intels numbers vs. AMD's muscles. Its just something that has been bothering me, why people hate it when the P4 doesn't get the advantage with RDRAM.
Just a thought.
