-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen tests results (from 3rd parties) that seem to indicate that DDR SDRAM is faster than RIMMs in many (if not most) applications. This is just because of the way data flows through them, & so on.
Also, I used to have some of the original RDRAM whitepapers. From what I could tell of them, their data flow amounts to a pipeline. If you're working on large chunks of memory, then they're great, but their performance falls off rapidly if you're working on many small chunks of memory, as you have to keep refilling the pipe. - -----Original Message----- From: Cliff Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: rdram?

Rambus is good memory, it's just expensive. DDR is nearly as good at a far lower price. However, if you have the $$$, I'd use Rambus. If you go with DDR, be sure to get it from a reliable source (i.e. Crucial). There's a lot of cheap DDR on the market right now, which may work or may not (or worse, just work sometimes). I use cheap RAM in my desktop (512MB PC2100 for $49.99 =), but on a server I'd go with higher quality. And run memory tests on whatever you get. - -- Cliff Wells, Software Engineer Logiplex Corporation (www.logiplex.net) (503) 978-6726 x308 (800) 735-0555 x308 - -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.3 iQA/AwUBPoshjdPjBkUEZx5AEQIj8gCg9QbPfPt2xtrUXkZtKi1pEf+ujWkAoKS+ tKx1PXl/a4bNk8gAdfOixC/v =T8QN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
