And then double that money so you can buy ram for willy

mm mm mm... thats gonna cost a pretty penny

[zippy]

Then add in the gargantuan costs of the mobo and RDRAM....

NOOOOO thank you, intel!

 

[Train]

actually they will have an SDRAM version available

 

[cobain]

How much is rambus now anyway? I heard it had come down in price. And does anyone know if the DDR chipset is coming out at the same time as the P4

 

[Ulysses]

And those are wholesale prices for 1000 qty.

 

[Prodigy^]

uhm......that less than an Athlon 1 GHz......what's the problem?

It won't be by the time Sept and Nov roll around.

 

[sov05]

wow a bunch of money

 

[Spook]

Is there going to be a Chipset that supports SDram? is that DDR SDram? or what PC133?

 

[element]

Frankly, I for one would not pair up a 1.4 ghz chip with single data rate SDRAM. The memory bandwidth bottleneck won't allow for the processor to run at its best. It would be a waste of clock speed. Rambus is too expensive, so it'll have to be AMD and DDR or nothing.

 

[Toxin]

i don't see what people are saying about Rambus being expensive.. it's not the days where it was 1000 or so.. it's like 300 bux now...

*don't call me a Rambus troll now*

just pointing it out

 

[Quickfingerz]

P4 with SDRAM? I'll still pass on that. AMD is the way to go for the next year or so.

 

[cobain]

I heard Intel had a DDR chipset ready, as a back up option for the P4. they arent taking any chances this time.

 

[IsOs]

Well, we better start saving. September is just around the corner.

 

[KarsinTheHutt]

The P4 Xeon has/will have a DDR Chipset. Intel can modify that one if Rambus turns out to be a dud even with this 400 MHz FSB

But by the time September or Nov (if *nhel is gets really lucky and get their act together), the post gig Athlon will be hovering around a $700 or less. Remember, by then, AMD will probably have a 1.5Gig out so *nhel will still have a problem with competition. Did I say &quot;I love this man&quot;? Ah, it is a great time to be an AMD user.
