KZNerd, <You can look around and see DDR specs and even read about how this organization is going to trump Rambus' marketing-inspire coining of the PC800 name by using PC2100 to reference to a module with 2100 Mhz data rate.>
Man, PC2100? That's not referring to a 2100 MHz data rate, since nothing achieves that sort of data rate right now. Instead, that's more of a bandwidth number, 2100 MB/sec. Maybe Rambus should rename their modules PC1600 for their 1600 MB/sec data rate. Or since DDR requires a 64-bit interface in order to get their 2100 MB/sec bandwidth, Rambus should level the comparison and give the numbers they'd get if they move to a 64-bit interface. That would lead to the name PC6400!
Heck, since marketing terminology makes very little sense anyway, let's just go by the number of bytes transfered, instead of megabytes. That would lead to PC1,600,000,000 and PC2,100,000,000, respectively. It could get even worse if we talk about bits ...
Just having a little fun. Kind of reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon on UPN, where Dilbert's project, "The Gruntmaster 6000" is going to be challenged by a competitor's product, aptly named "The Gruntmeister 7000."
