ASUS P4T533 with RIMM 4200 Review
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

The guys at OCWorkBench have posted their review on the new ASUS P4T533 which uses Intel's latest i850E chipset with support for dual channel RAMBUS:
ASUS P4T533 is the latest offering from ASUStek. This is the first main board that uses the i850E chipset with 32 bit RAMBUS (RIMM 4200). The RIMM 4200 is different from the conventional RAMBUS modules. The RIMM 4200 module is a dual channel RIMM design using 1066 MHz RDRAM memory and provides 4.2GB/s of memory bandwidth.
The chart below compares it with the rest of the chipsets; DDR and RAMBUS chipsets. It can be clearly seen that RAMBUS RIMM4200 again leads the pack with a memory bandwidth of 65% faster than DDR266 and 21% faster than PC800 RAMBUS. All comparisons are done based on 512MB setup. Will this extra bandwidth translate to better overall performance. We shall see in the next few pages.
Does RDRAM still have a place in the memory market? More benchmarks and the review are here.
