Re: says Martin Reynolds, a Dataquest analyst. I'm not sure that that particular fellow is the final authority - but neither am I, and neither are you. Rambus has good bandwidth and poor latency, VC DDR one possible "wave of the future" has both good bandwidth and good latency. As processors become faster, every cache miss that results in an access to RAM exacts more of a penalty as more clock cycles are wasted while waiting for main memory to respond. This is why I think the latency issue is not one that can be ignored, and that rambus will be less suitable as clock speeds increase, not more suitable. If the only arguments you can muster in favor of your position are platitudes about "visionary thinking" and some feeble attempts at toilet humor, maybe you need to reconsider your position. Micron may produce rambus after having been paid to do so by Intel, but its tests show that the technology is without benefit and they won't put it in machines that have the Micron name on them. Dan
