So, many enthusiasts go for the Rambus platform, whose memory performance makes use of the Pentium 4's full potential. In order to offer an acceptable price/performance ratio, these PCs usually have slow DDR266 modules (with a 2.5 CAS latency), which also get in the way of optimal system performance. Currently, the better equipped of the Intel PCs even have DDR SDRAM, so that more of the performance potential can be better utilized. It should be clear to everyone that the Pentium 4 cannot reach its maximum performance potential in such systems, unless the user is primarily concerned with pure Megahertz and Gigabyte figures - in which case, all other criteria don't count. Rather, the Pentium 4, fitted with an 845 board and SDRAM, is sold as a complete system by the major chain stores. Only a few manufacturers have a motherboard with this chipset in their portfolios.
The Intel Pentium 4 has a problem: the Rambus platform, based on the Intel 850 chipset, has not enjoyed widespread penetration of the market. Pentium 4: DDR333 - Competition for Rambus
