dan, this is terrific. those points were covered in class today. ok! one at a time... It's harder to daisy chain 400MHZ parts than 133MHZ parts. that would be true...very true if rdram used the same poor signal strategy as sdram... but it doesn't. your argument and comparison is not applicable...comparing apples to bricks. it is very important to understand and appreciate that intel does the system work, due diligence and verification in the lab to ensure that the memory system will be rock solid in production. That's nonsense, SDRAM is already being made as x8, x16, and x32 dan...debate the relative merits of my posts...needle me if you like...but puhleeze don't call them nonsense. that is outrageous. re: granularity... the 32 bit wide argument... the price example i gave allowed for 32bit wide parts...that is why i set the aftermarket price at $2x rather than $4x or $8x. nevermind that 32 bit wide parts require a more expensive package...and screw up the aspect ratio of the die. i don't totally understand that die ratio stuff yet...maybe you could describe that problem for us. i do know it is not an issue for rambus! but it is a problem for sdram. Samsung's 222 MHz SGRAM this is a premium memory type for graphics...costs way more than dram...that has been explained in detail by scumbria...what is your point? i would like to thank you for encouraging me to continue my dram education. not only am i learning the advantages of rdram as expressed by over 100 of the top technology and computer companies as listed here... rambus.com (be sure and click on all 10 links on the left side of the page.) but, i am now also learning the huge technical disadvantages of sd and ddr. i also realize now that much of computers is learning the vocab...various areas are highly specialized. no one knows it all. not too difficult to specialize in a small part of computer science. i would encourage all of the non-techies to find a guru or several. i even take courses at our local community college adult education program. most of the students are like me over 55 and the courses are all <$50 including books. our school puts every student on their own computer for each class. class sizes are never over 12 so you get lots of personal attention. computers are so interesting and avant-garde that everyone who understands them wants to talk about them. ask your questions...i do...and i get great answers and lots of help. just beware of those who short rambus!<gg> unclewest
