Why don't you see many computers with RDRAM anymore?

2	My Brother has a computer and when he installed CPU-z he noticed hes got RDRAM and not SDRAM or DDR. I've never come across a computer with RDRAM before. How come that is? ddr sdram memory cpu-z rdram asked Nov 08 '10 at 15:58 Database 4.2k●125●155●199

0	How Old is the computer? that may answer your question. RDRAM seems fairly out dated and slow by todays standards. It seems it is only 16bit. We Use 64bit now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAM answered Nov 08 '10 at 16:00 Tim Fontana 12.8k●126●177●321 edited Nov 08 '10 at 16:01

0	my first machine had RDRAM in it, which meant that i could not upgrade the RAM with out spending a fortune on faster RDRAM chips, so i put that machine aside and got a much better faster PC that used DDR2 RAM. answered Nov 15 '10 at 18:05 coolsecretspy 556●7●9●15
