What are the pros/cons of an 845e versus an 850e based system?
How about an 850e based system with a P4 2.0Ghz with a 400Mhz FSB and 800Mhz RDRAM versus an 845e based system with a P4 2.0Ghz with a 400Mhz FSB and DDR266 RAM?
Basically, what are the pros/cons of an 800Mhz RDRAM system versus a DDR266 RAM system? Are there any scaling issues? That is, does the RDRAM based system begin to outperform the DDR266 only at higher clockspeeds?
What about the longevity of DDR versus RDRAM technology? Is picking an RDRAM based system a bad move? Will RDRAM be around in 1 year? 2 years? What are Intel's plans in the future regarding memory technology?
