Dual Channel DDR a Quantum leap in Technology!

[galtsfan]

Hard|OCP's forum has a benchmark of a Dual Channel DDR MB that'll make you rambus guy's sit up and take notice over here

I'm lovin' this thing...glad I waited on that rambus bus.

Anybody know if Granite Bay will be Hyperthread capable?

Yes. Even some current Socket 478 chipsets, the Asus P4T533 for example, do/will support HT.

If what you use the computer for is to run SiSoft Sandra all day long, then it definitely has promise How the added memory bandwidth affects the system's overall performance in real-world stuff remains to be seen. I did email Kyle to suggest a certain benchmark in which a PC1066-equipped P4 has almost 100% higher performance than a DDR333-equipped P4, implying that it would be interesting to see how GB does in that benchmark. Haven't seen any results from him yet, however.

with all the criticisms benchmark programs have been receiving as of late, i'm more inclined to believe real world uses. (i.e. high end games, video encoding, compression, etc..). I have a lot of hope for the Granite Bays, since i have an unfathomable number of DDR sticks lying around. If it turns out to be lackluster, Abit IT7-Max2 Rev 2.0 here i come!

and the dual channel nforce2 can't get an intel licence. can you see the irony in this.
