Ali, However, the RAMBUS timing requires about 100-150 picosecond time budget for egde skews, which means that the board designer must handle tracing/material properties up to 10-20GHz range (accounting for edge rise/fall times of 30-50ps). Are you telling me that there are signals in the Rambus technology that are physicallyin the 30-50 ps realm? Can you show me any pictures of such rise/fall times as 30-50 ps, and that's 10 to 90%, or 20 to 80, and not 48 to 53% or something? If you're telling me that those types of picosecond rise/fall times are what are required to make Rambus work, you are way out in left field without a glove, in fact, over the wall on that one. I think that it is technically illiterate managers like yourself who dragged Intel into premature switch into techology that current MB makers simply cannot afford. Sounds like you think all managers are technically incompetent, like the pointy haired one in Dilbert. Well you have another think coming, bitter man.
