I got myself an AMD system so I don't know much about RDRAM.Can anyone suggest a reliable store that has decent prices on RDRAM?b>

He's also considering dual channel DDR, but haven't set his mind on a possible mobo.

Thanks for any suggestions:):)

Tell him to wait just a couple more weeks!! The Intel Canterwood boards will be out that support 800MHz QDR bus and dual channel DDR400 RAM (PC3200) which is just as good or better than PC1066 RDRAM I believe!

If he wants Asus, he should go with the upcoming P4C800 or P4C800 Deluxe. He will get the latest features if he waits just a little more.

If he already has the motherboard, Count Springdale & Canterwood another day. If not, WAIIT :D

For RDRAM 1066: I Suggest Samsung.

Check out Pricewatch for some deals on RDRAM 1066 :D

RDRAM is great, and just like PCKing said newegg.com is the best computer part store.

Hey all, thanks for the advice. He's now updated on the release of Canterwood. He's on wait and see mode.

Thanks again.
