As for the Rambus rebate.. I dont know why it would blow you away.. Intel knows RDRAM is still more expensive then SDRAM and also faces a skeptical user community who doesnt think much of its claims of performace vs conventional SDRAM, and who a large portionof the community wouldnt bother with anyhow due to their oposition to Rambus and its perceived monopoly tactics of trying to force RDRAM down everyone's throat.

I guess I saw it as an incredible admission on the part of Intel. In years past, Intel pretty much dictated to the markets what would and would not happen in the pc chip world. For them to take this step re RMBS signals a change from their prior positioning and a loss of power.

Though we knew things had changed, I am not sure the rest of the world saw it the same way. The rebate program lets the world know that the changes are for real.
