RDRAM, DDR, and DDR2

[waynejkruse10]

how does it work?

I'm not an expert on this, but I do know my share. Here are the links. The first one is how RDRAM measures up to SDRAM. The second is for how it measures up to DDR-SDRAM.

So, PC1066 was the fastest memory, but coming at a price of I believe 400+ dollars it is ridiculous.

So there's no 64-bit RDRAM?

 

[pc_boy]

from what i understand, no!

64-Bit DDR-SDRAM
16 & 32(PC1066) RDRAM

My gateway 700c 2.0ghz P4 PC (3 years old) came with pc-800 rdram. It works well but 256 rdram these days is like $90 on average and they have to run in identicle pairs. I think ddr2 is the best choice

What was the lowest make for RD ram?cause in my old dell i know mine had pc-600.

RDRAM was some good shit until the bus width of ddr was increased.

DDR always came at 64-Bit...now it is doubled due to Dual Channel, but the individual bus width is still 64-Bit. RDRAM is good and PC600/16-Bit was the lowest they ever made.
