P4 mobos

[Data]

Hi all

Im looking into getting a P4 but I want the newer 0.13 micron (S478) CPUS but the mobos coming out now for the newer S478 socket are all meant for SDRAM and I wanted RDRAM

my question is whats Intel stand on RDRAM? is its gonna be phase out??

if i wanted to buy a P4 system, what memory is best? RDRAM, DDR or just plain SD?

aint it a compromise for a P4 system to use SDRAM?

I want the best, cost should not be a factor....

thanks all for your answers

Intel has no choice but to stick with RDRAM, DDR simply isent fast enough to give the P4 the performance it needs, and SDRAM sure as hell aint gonna cut it. Im also looking into upgrading to a P4 soket-478 so I'v been reading up on your exact questions, I can tell you right now that as far as the P4 go's, RDRAM will not be phased out. Go to neoseeker.com and do a search. Hope this helps

Asus has an upcoming board called the P4T-E, of which is to run Rdram, and the 850 chipset, along with the 478 pin configuration, I would imagine it won't be very long before it is on the store shelves, that is if it isn't allready.
