I don't have anything really technical against RDRAM, In fact it may become the future for all I know. But I've heard that it's harder to get good samples of RDRAM in the fabrication process and thus it's always going to be more expensive. And then there's that latency thing. But yeah, it's the price/performance thing again. When I said I only wanted a chipset that uses SD/DDR, I was referring to things as they stand right now. Next year there may be some new type of RAM.
And I could buy a non-INTEL/board for Pentium....But since the question was, what would it take for intel to get me back, I considered tha to mean possibly buying an INTEL board as well.
I put an INTEL BX440SE in with my old PII400 and it's the most stable system I own....and the most boring, because there isn't a damn thing I can tweak on it , lol
