DDR vs RDRAM Dont argue!!!!

Now that 1066 Rdram came out does that give it the edge over DDR ram , or is there still some areas that DDR takes the crown?
Not trying to start a DDR vs RD battle, cause i know that can happen, just wanted to get some ideas on numbers.

I like DDR RAM better due to overclocking abilities. Plus, it's a lot cheaper.

Now, the old pc800 ran a bandwidt at 3,2GB
This is gotten by this

100*4*8=3200mb

The newest ddr sd ram is rated pc3200, but then at this:

200*2*8=3200mb

And it is not very likely most computers will run that speed without a 6/2/1 divider, which only soon-comming mobos have. So the new 1066 rd ram will have a bandwidt of

133*4*8=4256mb

Saying that "Joe" is avaible to run his new XP comp at 166mhz, and "Eddie" runs his PIV rig at stock speeds. The nadwidt would be:
PIV:133*4*8=4256
XP: 166*2*8=2656

Difference is 1600mb. Total victory to the PIV rig.

BUT!

Pricewatch shows that 256 (2*128)mb rd ram is rated 133$ and 256 (1*256)mb ddr ram is rated 39$. The ddr is generic but even if we buy micron or samsung ram rated pc2700 it is 50$. Still pretty much cash for most of us

This is were ddr sd ram takes the crown...

Duel Channel DDR400 is the best.

6.4GB/s powered by next generation nForce.

Rdam on it's own isn't as good as ddr, its the dual channel chipset intel made so rdram could compete with ddr that gives it a advantage in memory bandwith.

It dosen't really do much good to have 10000mb/sec memory bandwith if the rest of the system can only use 3000mb/sec.

Yes you get a great sandra mem score but other than that little to no improvement in other areas.

Here is one review using 1066rdam and a Pentium 4 2.53Ghz Northwood.
