SDRAM vs. RDRAM
Posted by: J0rdan on: 05/08/2000 06:27 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
There has been a lot of buzz around the industry lately regarding RDRAM, its benefits, its drawbacks (other then the fact that it costs more then a compact car). Well, the boys over at Hardware Central have decided to take an indepth look at the subject.
In summary, we're confident that Rambus will continue to work on improving the performance of their technology and lowering the prices of RDRAMs. Due to the growing demand in memory bandwidth, the arrival of GHz CPUs, Gigabit Networking, real-time audio/video and the ever-growing demands of today's software, we'll soon run into memory bandwidth problems. RDRAM is not perfect, but it is currently one of the most promising solutions to bandwidth, latency and propagation delay problems, and is scalable, a distinct advantage... Once more manufacturers start producing RDRAM and it becomes as commonplace as SDRAM now is, we will see its prices dropping, too.Holy technical batman! This article has everything anyone would want to know about RDRAM technology. Check it our for yourself if you dare here.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
