Is there motherboards that support both pentium 3's and 4's. Also in that same motherboard support rambus ram and sdram. If there is please tell the product name.

There are no motherboards that support both, since p4 and p3 have different pin grid array formations (PGA.) As far as the memory question..there are some older p3 system boards that have support for sdram and rdram through a memory translation hub (MTH.) However, using SDRAM on a p3 through the MTH is not effiecient since you will actually suffer significant loss of bandwith.

I would suggest going with straight p3 sdram boards and avoiding the whole rdram business...since it is only for heavy bandwith programs anyway...
