RE: <PC200 The only way to speed up conventional memory is to push the electrons harder so they will shoot through the wires and into the semiconductor faster. This generates a lot of heat. I suppose it could be done but the cost of additional cooling would be greater than Rambus. TP>

PC200 is the first step in DDR. It is just 100 MHz double pumped. Then comes PC266 which is 133 MHz double pumped. Beyond that is DDR-II which will increase frequencies to 200 to 250 MHz and data rates to twice that. This is the natural evolution of the non-rambus dram world. It doesn't require that electrons shoot through wires faster or cause additional heat over rambus.
