RAMBUS Question

I have a Dell P4 2.2ghz with the 533mhz FSB and 256mb RAMBUS. Right when I bought it I was hearing about the possiblity of faster memory being compatible with my machine, but since it wasn't confirmed or something, it was being shipped with the slower ram.

I'm getting ready to throw some more ram in this bitch and was just wondering what type/speed I should get.

Probably only RAMBUS is compatible with your current motherboard, so just get the same type.

Is RAMBUS just one speed? I was thinking there were different types.

Dell Dimension 8250 P4 2.2ghz with the 533mhz FSB - uses PC1066 RDRAM(rambus). 1.5GB max. Install in pairs.

Kingston memory for specific Dell system with RDRAM

Notice that every Dell specific part number at the Kingston site has DM in the part number. This means Kingston tested and certifies the RDRAM will work in that specific Dell system model number.
Also note that "Kit" means that two RIMMs are in the package to make up the total amount of RDRAM listed in the part number.

Dell Dimension 8250

Part number - Description
KTD-DM8250/256 - 256MB kit
KTD-DM8250/512 - 512MB kit

Right now there is only one speed of RAMBUS RAM but it has the potential to be one of the fastest kinds of memory. Probably not as fast as SRAM, but they haven't been able to harness the speed so right now all it is, is overpriced RAM.

RAMBUS is a high performance, high price memory that comes in multiple speeds: PC600 (old), PC700, PC800, and PC1066. It is much, much faster than SDRAM, which I'm assuming evercl was intending by 'SRAM'. But, Intel is beggining to get rid of it because of its high price.
