Samsung Rambus RDRAM 400Mhz 256Mb/32MB

Описание: RDRAM or Rambus DRAM, was designed as a replacement for SDRAM, but was VERY expensive (Up to 4 times SDRAM price).

Intel introduced chipets with RDRAM support for early Pentium 4 motherboards, making RDRAM mainstream. But it became clear that the benefits didnt outweigh the costs.
RDRAM also uses a lot of energy and needs a heat-spreader to keep the temperature under control.

With the introduction of dual channel DDR memory support Intels new chipset, RDRAM was doomed.

In 2001, benchmarks pointed out that single-channel DDR266 SDRAM modules could closely match dual-channel 800 MHz RDRAM in everyday applications, with FAR lower cost.
