RDRAM is supposed to get 800MHZ to 1066MHZ speeds, and probbably the only reason it wasn't popular is because
there were very few motherboards that supported it
it cost a lot
I know of one board, the Gigabyte 8IHXP that supported RDRAM, although it had a 533MHZ FSB for the P4's
RDRAM at 800MHZ actually transfers at 200MHZ
but it transferred 4 pieces of data at a time
DDR400 RAM actually transfers at 200MHZ also, but it transfers 2 pieces of data at a time (hence the name double data rate)
