Re: but that's absolutely wrong... Are you completely sure about that? PC memory usage is pretty random. Streaming data is generally seen only from disk or network feeds, neither of which is anywhere near to being fast enough to require anything faster than PC100. Rambus has an advantage only if there is a requirement for streaming memory. Remember that interleaving DIMMs provides the same streaming performance benefit as Rambus and that capability was discarded from chipset designs once CPU caches became standard. It was useless since it provided no real benefit. PCXXX can burst a cache line as quickly as Rambus, VC DDR more quickly, and the non rambus memory types can always be interleaved if someday, some application comes along that really does need that kind of streaming memory performance. It will be very interesting to see what happens in a few weeks when some of these systems are made available to completely independent testers. Maybe Rambus longs will be surprised, maybe it will be the shorts, either way, it'll be great to finally see some of these questions layed to rest. Dan
