MH,

And finally, will this keep HP, CPQ, et. al. from bringing out RDRAM systems? I suspect that there will be many salespeople on the Dell phone lines who will be saying "hey, it runs at 800Mhz instead of 133Mhz, of course it's faster". When that happens, all the other OEMs have to bring out RDRAM-based systems because no telemarketer is going to take the time to try to explain how the RDRAM technology works to someone on the phone and try to change their mind. They have to bring out 800Mhz memory just to sound competitive. It's just my guess, but 800Mhz sounds faster, therefore, in the minds of most buyers, it will be faster.
