Re: RAMBUS is more compelling with higher speeds."

PC133 is being shipped now at CAS 2 by Infineon and Micron at least - where it fills a cache line faster than fastest bin split 40ns Rambus 800 when the rambus is still active from the last memory request.

And it's available in volume - no testing problems, no binsplits with 3 part numbers for PC800 depending on how the parts test out.

There is really no point to rambus unless and until they get the latency down. Its performance handicap will become worse as CPU speeds go up, not better. And it faces DDR 200 and 266 in Q1. Micron is shipping DDR 333 for graphics use now.
