RDRAM has always been a pain to track, but we are getting better at it. Last week's guides we asked if anyone would like us to add a particular RDRAM module please email Kristopher, asking to do so. Surprisingly, we had two people email asking for certain RDRAM modules. To put that in perspective, we had 8 emails asking us to add the Epox 8RDA+ to the guides. What strikes us odd is that the 8RDA+ was already on the guides! Next week we expect to have 16 and 32 bit modules at both speeds, but it seems as if the manufacturers and resellers are staying away from RDRAM like the plague. Mathematically, it seems as though Samsung 256MB modules have a clear edge over everyone else. You can buy four 16bit Samsung 256MB modules for the price of one Corsair 512MB! Next week we should have a better look at some more RDRAM components, so please drop us feedback in the forums or through email about what you want added!
