<p class="artcont">As you know, i850 and i845D support different memory: RDRAM and DDR SDRAM. It has been proved that Pentium4 with i850/RDRAM PC800 has better performance in the most cases.
<p class="artcont">However, our tests showed that this advantage is very little to nothing (speaking about 1024x768 and higher resolutions), except for drastic boosts on i850 platform.
