Hi giorgio: if you are building an athlon based system, go for DDram- although not benchmarked for chess, according to reports on the internet, it generally seems to be better for most applications. other considerations are <www.crucial.com> (retail arm of micron ) is selling high performance pc2100 DDram at almost the same price as SDRAM. future smp capable athlons (palominos) will use DDram; SDram for future athlons seems to be on its way out. if on the other hand you are going for pentium 3 or celeron systems then DDRam is a waste-SDram works as well. for pentium 4 systems you need RDRam rajen
