KZ,
<Well if that were true then why wouldn't Intel offer the choice, reduce risk of start up problems during the transition, and have a smooth cross over to Rambus as the whole world starts demanding it due to its making birds fly>
You're falling back into the same trap. Again, the reason companies don't offer every single option of every single possibility of every single product is that it is far too expensive. It increases R&D costs, support costs, manufacturing costs, accounting costs, inventory costs, marketing costs, and just about any other cost you can name. There's not a single company in the world, including your "fav" AMD, that offers every option. Companies make decisions every single second of every single day about which options to offer, and Intel chose RDRAM after looking at alternatives for over a year.
Live with it.
And watch for your other buddies like Via to offer the options you want to see.
This is why I didn't believe your statement about what your point was supposed to be. If your point is "Rambus is not a slamdunk" I'd suggest you stay there and not bring up the lack of choice anymore.
