Question for the thread (don't be shy!): Over the next couple of years, for what applications will DRDRAM help performance materially? KZ just mentioned scanning in 100M sized photos, but my impression (based on my 133Mhz machine and 30-bit scanner :o)) is that the scanning bottleneck is still in the processor and the scanner, not the memory bus. At what speed processor (scanner or CPU) does scanning get held up by the RAM? Any guesses? KZ also mentioned video streaming. But, the most attractive prospect for video streaming is off the web. And the web continues to be constrained by its slowest step, and currently runs at about 400kbps. Maybe 600kbps. So, all of our PC's are fast enough to handle anything coming off the web. That's going to change, but how fast? And what configurations will be needed to get that extra performance? Please offer applications that will see a demonstrable improvement from memory bus improvements in the near future. Thanks and best regards to all respondents. JS
