Re: you're forgetting about AGP... Video cards have local memory, but it I agree that if there is any benefit to rambus, it will be in this area. >>>If your memory gets bogged down by the large burst transfers coming from AGP and PCI... Isn't this more of an argument for Athlon's point to point bus over Intels bus? >>>>PCXXX SDRAM does not burst a cacheline as quickly as Rambus... We've all gone back and forth about this quite a bit, let's just agree to disagree. You might want to be sure you aren't comparing last year's SDRAM with next year's DRDRAM. That would be like comparing VC133 with 53ns PC600 - where DRDRAM gets creamed. Are you comparing CAS3 PC100 with 40ns DRDRAM? Not even Samsung is able is able to get many of those parts out of the binsplits. >>>>Why hasn't the anti-Rambus coalition rallied around VC?... VIA, SIS, and ALI are all supporting VC DRAM. Two chipsets have been sampling and will be in volume production in about the same time frame as DRDRAM chipsets. In one to two months. >>>>do you know how expensive it is to interleave any type of memory... Sure do, that's basically the trick behind DRDRAM, interleaving on the chip itself, and it looks like that cost may kill it. Dan
