Bilow,

John Walliker seems to feel that Rambus will give the user a more inherently reliable memory product. This is silly, given that the rambus technology has already demonstrated that it is having manufacturing trouble. I work with high speed digital interfaces every day, and am quite sure that it is going to be a lot harder to get technology to run at 800MHz than at 250MHz. The delays in production bear this out. To suggest anything else is at best silly. Later, when your rambus machine is available, they are still going to suggest that you not swap chips (which might be impossible to do for the average user, anyway).


Yes, I do feel that Rambus gives an inherently more reliable product and I have explained why several times already.

I too have worked with high speed digital interfaces, starting with digital television in 1974 and currently with digital signal processors and FPGAs. I have also worked on microwave systems.

Whether or not I am being silly, time will tell.

John
