Has anyone had any experience with this new processor and its compatability with Linux/Unix? How did it preform comared to regular Athlons and P4's?

I also have one other question. I plan on buying a new dell and fiddling left and right with it. Which type of RAM is better, RDRAM or DDRRAM? Explain plz.

Thanks alot guys!
