Did any Celerons use RDRAM?

[kmac1914]

A friend of mine wants to upgrade his memory, and he has an older Dell with I believe a Celeron 700 Mhz in it. He thinks it uses RDRAM, and I can't go to his computer to check for sure.

i'd say its doubtful, since it is a celeron700mhz

 

[onza]

he has a dell- so send him to the dell webpage and let him enter his service tag, and that will tell u exact specs on that system

okay, that's what i was thinking to do. Thanks.

yeah, most likely it's regular pc100 sdram

many of the later Celery chips used PC-133. I believe the slowest one was 5 or 600Mhz. In any case PC-133 will work even if it only runs at 100.

some p3's even used rdram i think....
or actually maybe no....i think it might have been ddr...probably yeah ddr

I don't think I ever saw a P3 using Rambus - maybe a Zeon? Mostly it was for servers and other high-performance applications, since it was so expensive.

actually there were both ddr and rdram solutions for p3 boards
probably very expensive, as you said, for rdram, but they were there...
dunno how expensive ddr p3 boards wre, but anand wrote an article way back here

yah i knew they did, but i couldnt find any evidence (nor did i feel like googing much longer, i have to bs like 40 questions out of a couple acts of Hamlet without actually reading the play cuz i dont want to lol)

they were expensive though....i seem to recall a figure of 1000-1500 USD..but cant be sure
