Subject: SDRAM vs RDRAM memory performance

Author: Barry Culp

Does anyone know of any info on the relative performance of some of the better
chess programs like Crafty, Fritz, Century, Junior etc on Intel high end
machines with the new high speed and very expensive RDRAM memory. ???

Supposedly RDRAM memory has a faster transfer rate (bits/sec) but a slower
latency (time you wait until data starts flowing once a request is made) than
conventional SRDAM memory. I have seen some info that says SDRAM actually slows
down some applications like MS Word and Excel.
