I have a Intel 820 chip set that runs a P III slot one with RDRAM. Does this board take advantage of the RDRAM capablities? When it comes to upgrading, should I get a P4 motherboard / CPU to tranfer the RDRAM, or would it be better / cheaper to go Athlon XP / Motherboard?

P.S. What is a good middle of the road Athlon XP compatable Motherboard. I am not looking to overclock, but want DDR support. I do some 3d gaming, but mostly just to surf and do office work.
