A lower pin count is desirable because it lowers costs. If rambus equipped PCs start coming in cheaper than otherwise equivalent SDRAM PCs, great. But right now, I don't think anyone is expecting that. Quite the opposite, in fact. A lower pin count has no intrinsic value. dan, please read the first and last sentences of your statement above...kinda funny isn't it? when you responded to my post did you realize that was dell talking not me? i noticed you skipped over this part of my quote from dell. unclewest n comparison, an additional SDRAM interface requires 32 pins. Although an additional 132-pin interface may be a reasonable approach for expanding server memory, it is not appropriate for workstations or desktop PCs due to the component cost and system board space required. Moreover, increasing the clock rate or widening the data path beyond PC 133 parameters for a single SDRAM channel will increase the difficulty of controlling emissions, maintaining signal integrity, and meeting timing margins.
