The problem with it is it also comes with a pretty bad latency number. I've run Crafty on most everything and I get the best performance on SDRAM. DDR is next with RAMBUS in third place. No idea if this holds for all chess engines. And it certainly doesn't hold for all applications as our graphics stuff runs better on the higher-bandwidth RAMBUS memory. As does our high-powered math programs that stomp thru big arrays many times. > >My CIS teacher just "loves" Rambus. > >Thanks in advance, > >Joshua
