It is true that sony and nintendo use RAMBUS. But my impression is RAMBUS dram is used in video or graphics frame buffer area rather than main memory, because graphics and video accelerators don't have cache memory architecture and the high bandwidth of rambus does bring up significant performance improvement. For a general purpose of CPU though, relying on the main memory performance is kind of excuse for the inefficient CPU design. Depending on the architecture of MAJC rambus may or may not make sense. But certainly it is interesting to follow the details of MAJC strategy. Regards, Eric
