as rim rambus (rdram) is as twice as expensive as ddr ram i ask myself if it s worthy to go for it which means that it should also be as twice as powerful as ddr ram.

benchmark tests comparing the 2 types mention that the higher the cpu performance the more the rim rambus will be able to use it s advantages and so leave the ddr ram behind. i am on p4 2.4 so that will be guaranteed in my case.

my question impliments if the rim rambus advantage is a general thing or if it s only supported by certain apps which would then create the question if my used apps (cubase sx as host and VSTis + plugz) support the rim rambus advantages at all.

is it really worthy to spend the double price on rim rambus?

thx for nfo,
