      Jord's got a point. The people you're looking for will only come here by accident; they'll go to GHW on purpose.

      So off you go... have fun!

        I have an ASUS P3C2000 i820 based with SDRAM support.

        Works very well, performance is on par with the BE6 and BE6-II from ABIT - (marginally slower, however, I can OC a bit higher with this than the BE6-II, but not as high as the BE6).

        Still waiting to try the Gigabyte GA-6CXC-1.

          Thanks for the input Guyver. Helping someone make a decision for a home business machine based on RDRAM. Since the stuff is so pricey now, an alternative is to do what you have done till prices come down for RDRAM.

          But recent benchmarks for Windows apps in Maximum PC shows you need a P III 800 with RAMBUS to get really big results. The P III 600 benchmarks with RAMBUS are not that impressive. The 750 MHz AMD Athlon machines with SDRAM are impressive too.

          I know one should really not make a big decision based on benchmarks alone,but Windows apps is what this person is into, major spreadsheet action. A Dell sales rep had told her that a P III 600 with RAMBUS is 116% faster than a P III 750 with SDRAM, but I wonder how they arrived at that number. Sounds like major puffing of the product, but I could be wrong.

            That's strange comeing from DELL. They had a comparison on their website a while back that shows SDRAM outpaceing RDRAM on most comparisons. Maybe the rep was quoteing from the one (I think) test were RDRAM won?
