Dual channel DDR for the p4 sighted

[ATi]

I don't know if this is old news or not, but here it is...

Yeah, it's old news. It is also for the much more expensive P4 Xeon server procs.

If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much.

Yes we knew it, but it was a cheap attempt by Intel IMO, 200MHZ DDR is old news.
BTW SiS and VIA are working on Dual Channel solutions for P4, so we might finally see if DC DDR really does benefit P4 or not, in either latency and bandwidth.

The goal of the chipset was to get the mem and FSB to match. That is stabler and more efficient. If they come out with a 533 Xeon, they'll probably develope a PC2100 version of that board.

Yes and intel have allready say it but i really dont think it will move to DDR 333 just DDR 266.Acualie according to some site you connot use more that 1 GB of DDR 333.

cheap, cheap. Think cheap, and you'll always be cheap.AMD version of semi conducteur industrie

Yeah you're probably right, but even asynchronously, it will still boost a little more, or doesn't it?.

That's probably the signal degridation issue, combined with what type of chips are on the market now for DDR333.

It will not do much more due to the bandwidth requirements of the P4, which I believe on a 100 FSB is 3.2, matching dual DDR200 and Dual PC800. However, I could be wrong. the THG test showed the P4 gaining a bit at 133 FSB and 166 Mem FSB with PC1200 over a syncronous 133 FSB with PC1066. That could be latency related though.
