DDR SDRAM and Rambus RAM
Until motherboards with chipsets able to use the new DDR RAM, Intel Pentium 4 processors could only use Rambus RAM, which runs at an effective speed of 400MHz, and is comparatively still very expensive compared to standard PC 100 and PC 133 SDRAM, and PC 1600 and PC 2100 DDR RAM. - See below for the news that has just come out that VIA has developed a chipset that supports DDR SDRAM. AMD Athlon processors can run on motherboards that use PC 1600 and PC 2100 DDR RAM. AMD Duron processors run on a 100MHz system bus that can only use the PC 1600 DDR RAM. PC 2100 DDR RAM runs on a 133MHz system bus. - More on this further down the article.
