Understood (I hope you didn't take it to mean I was challenging your results).

The thing that I'm most interested in is at the much higher P4 frequencies, where the gap between CPU speeds and main memory becomes even more apparent, and the latencies between RDRAM and DDR become very similar to the CPU. I really want to do a CPU scaling article, between the P4 on RDRAM and on DDR, but lack of a platform (on both accounts) means I'll have to forgo this article, for quite awhile, at least.

I'll be interested in which benchmarks Anand actually does use...and how well it scales with CPU speed (but I won't tell him that 'cause I want to write another article )

Thanks for the reply,

Paul
