While computers have been increasing in speed continually month after month, memory has stayed relatively unchanged over the last three years - almost an eternity in the computer industry. Where the PC100 standard Intel set back way in 1998 was upped to 133 MHz (improving bandwidth of SDRAM theoretically by 33%), today's memory is being upped even higher to provide the hungriest processors with adequate memory bandwidth. Yes there was the introduction of RDRAM, however it turned out to be Intel's worst nightmare rather then a widely embraced solution. Even though RDRAM has a large degree of memory bandwidth, it only has limited appeal because of the relatively high costs associated with latency. Compare RDRAM to that of DDRAM or SDRAM and you will also see a significant cost difference as well.
