Subject: Will DDR SDRAM improve the performance of chess programs?

Author: Pete R.

On Monday AMD will introduce the new 760 chipset (and matching Athlon chip) that
will raise the front side bus speed from 200 to 266Mhz and support 266Mhz DDR
SDRAM. I am wondering if chess programs are currently under any performance
constraints with existing memory speeds, or if processor speed or something else
(such as inherent chess program design) is a limiting factor that would make the
additional memory bandwidth moot. Any thoughts?
