The Final Battle: P4/2400 vs. Athlon XP 2100+ (2400+)

New RDRAM With 32 Bit, Bundled With Motherboards

A comparison of the very latest memory modules (not yet available for sale): RDRAM for 400 and 533 MHz (Samsung), as well as DDR333-Modul (Infineon) with CL2.0.

Also runs in DDR400 mode: a hand-picked memory module.

A test sample from Infineon: 256 MB DDR333 for 166 MHz and CL2.0 timing.

There are some new developments with RDRAM, which will be available in two different versions in the future: the standard 16 bit will be offered, as will a 32 bit version, which will differ mechanically from previous modules. Asus plans to be the first manufacturer to offer 32 bit memory (Kingston) bundled with its P4T533 motherboard in May. Samsung and Infineon will forgo production of 32 bit modules entirely after PC1066. Infineon will go so far as to offer only PC800 modules for 400 MHz.
