Re:You can not see that inherit limitations of SDRAM begat RDRAM...

Well, Jdaasoc, somebody can't see something all right. Take a look at:

www6.tomshardware.com

Here's a brief preview for you:
========================================================
It seems as if the information I got from the motherboard-makers is completely correct. With normal software such as the Sysmark98-business applications, Camino is just about as fast as BX at 100 MHz, even a tad slower. Not even Naturally Speaking 3.52 is benefiting too much from Camino's fast RDRAM and Photoshop is again faster on BX than on Camino. It is obvious that BX overclocked to 133 MHz FSB is smoking Camino significantly.
=========================================================
Worse performance at less than twice the price, how can it possibly fail?

Now take a look at:
necel.com
To see DRAM technology that actually improves performance at a less than a 5% increase in cost.

Really, look at both links. Both carefully document their testing procedures, both use intel processors and intel motherboards and chipsets for their tests. Look at this information.

Microchannel actually was a good idea, and it sank like a stone because it added a little to costs, included a licensing fee, and didn't result in an obvious performance advantage under most conditions. Rambus hasn't the competitive advantages of microchannel. Drip, Drip, Drip? More like Splash! Then it sinks to the bottom.
