Due to its weakness in latency, the specific performance balance of Rambus DRAM does not seem to favor current generation uniprocessor desktop PC platforms running traditional applications

Rambus is a very hot topic. Intel has been promoting Rambus as the new memory standard since late 1996. Now, eighteen months later a few DRAM manufacturers have prototype silicon in hand

Predicting the system performance impact of a new type of DRAM is a tricky business.

I am pleased to see the keen interest that many of you have in AGP related graphics performance. In truth, the issue is multidimensional.

Anyone who has tested more than a few graphics cards has observed that there is not always a very big performance delta between an AGP graphics card and a similarly configured PCI graphics card
