Latency.... does anyone understand that even if you spend $1000 on this rdcrap
thinking that hey it must be good cause it is so expensive that is just another
lie to scam the consumer out of hard earned money. It is the latency that makes
it perform less than PC-133.  Wait for DDR chipsets they are better but hello
none of this really matters too much anyway. all that matters is How many hertz
are they giga or mega? How much cache, is it full or half speed, on chip or off
and total cache? How fast is the Harddrive and how much cache does it have? How
much system RAM? 800Mhz RDRAM means little if it takes longer to start(not
inside a cycle but to actually begin a new). Video card matters and the cards in
your computer ISA or PCI but only a little. OS matters a little bit more.
