Dual channel DDR that is. The P4 could use this type of enhancement, DDR can't keep up with the FSB speeds of the P4. This is the final nail that kills RDRam.

Expected to be launched in November, the Granite Bay (E7205) and Placer chipsets are designed for workstations, while the Plumas 533 (E7501) chipset will be introduced for server products. All three chipsets adopt the new dual-channel DDR platform, instead of the RDRAM standard Intel previously used for its workstation and server lines.
