RE: <"The 144Mb and 128Mb RDRAM components, as well as a 256Mb module have all been quality certified by the Intel Validation test program. In addition, Samsung Electronics plans to begin producing a 256Mb RDRAM device starting next year." Looks like they may be validated, but not available. Sept 9 press release: samsung.com; As for the 256MBit Rdrams, sure they will come some time. But the cost per bit cross over in Sdrams is just occurring now from 64MBit to 128MBit. The cross over for Rdrams from 128MBit to 256MBit will be well out there in time and after the Sdram cross over to 256MBit due to the larger die for Rdram. "starting next year" likely means late 2000 in small volumes. As for Intel validating the 256MByte module, well the website doesn't say that it's validated. Even if it is validated we don't know if it is available in mass volumes. I believe that this module requires 8 Rdrams on each side of the RIMM with the pinouts of the chips on one side to be mirror image of the chips on the other side. Don't know if these mirror image chips exist in volume. Hopefully these questions will be answered on Monday.
