Default DDR and RDRAM Analysis
Hardware Analysis have an artile on the DDR vs RDRAM issue - a worthy read!

It’s early 1999 and Intel is actively promoting Rambus memory as the most scalable memory architecture for the future. All of the current and upcoming Intel chipsets are outfitted with support for this memory architecture and there’s heated discussions going on in many newsgroups, forums and through email about this move to a new memory architecture. Intel is blamed for forcing people to buy into this new technology, a technology that as some say, fails to deliver on its promises as initial benchmarks don’t show any substantial performance benefits. On top of that it has a rather steep price premium which doesn't help with the public appeal either; RDRAM is on average 5x more expensive than SDRAM.
