Wich is " faster", I know that is a generic term but what do you guys think?

They are both Dell's with the 9700tx the one with rdram is the 8250 and the ddr is 4550.

A little bit of everything, gaming and video editing to be the things that stand out.

I will tell you that 256 of RDRAM wasn't enough for my system so I upped it to 512. I would recommend DDR to you because you get a faster processor with that dell system, you also get upgradeability. RDRAM I am afraid is not going to be around much longer, and I don't know if you are aware of how RDRAM works but it needs pairs to perform(or a shunt(stay away)). I am happy with my RDRAM, but in retrospect I should have waited till p4's could use DDR.

edit: also, don't call people idiots in a thread you started that was supposed to be in a different forum.

I was thinking the same thing about the ram, rdram is $200 and ddr is $70 for 512mb, and the "pairs" kinda suck because if you want to upgrade you have to plan it out a bit.

BTW I never called anyone an idiot that would be uncalled for idjit is the term I used.

Thanks for the reply.

No problem, at any rate, it all depends on your bus speeds and what other devices you plan to add.

You my friend are very close to getting an unfavorable user rating probably a 3 or less. Don't make me do it.

Cuz I am not afraid to do it.

Bwahahahaha

Do you think I care about my user rating? If anything, I want it to be a 1 so people know who they're fscking with.

I don't post to please you. I don't post to appease you. I don't post for your amusement. I just gave you a '1', not because you deserved it, but because I felt like it. I have my rating on to see how good of a job I do at pointing out people's shortcomings and how babyish they become about it.

You're not afraid to give me a 3? You'd hurt me more by giving me a 10.

Jeez where'd your moronic self come from? Go back to your cave idiot.


As for the PCs, i'd go with the p4 2.66 myself. My 2 cents.
