im planning to buy a new system but i cant decide on which memory i should buy? i am buying an intel system(maybe 2.0a).
what is the fastest memory? someone just told me that the new PC1066 of rdram is faster than DDR333. but isnt it true that DDR333 is the newest and fastest DDR?

DDR333 is as fast as Dual Channel PC800 RDRAM, though with really good DDR400(OC'ed 50%) it would be faster than 1066 RDRAM.

P4 mobo's on PC1066 has twice the bandwidth of PC800.

If DDR333 is as fast as PC800 how in the world does clocking it 20% higher give you 200% the bandwidth?
