Road-Blocks----Premiums too high then no issue on production capacity, if premiums are reasonable then capacity could be an issue in 99. Measurability of performance with benchmarks has yet to be done.
Most systems will not be able to realize its benefits unless they are doing multi-data streams of video, etc.

I am all for higher performance in the memory bandwidth, it seems
there are several issues that will not become real issues until production and the user has to decide how much to spend on memory
for a given amount.ie,
I want to order a 128Mbyte system, but for this new sytem, I have to get ECC because it has a greater chance for error so that costs more(Intel now recommends this for Rambus), and
the Rambus Rims cost more, and now I have to insert dummy cards in the vacant slots, gee that costs a couple of dollars more,
the module cost how much>>>
Its going to run how hot, another fan>?$
I think I'll just buy 64M ECC this time and get more memory later.
Is that the senario we will see for the budget conscious.?
Good trading.
