KZ,

<Now for computers smaller than PCs (or those not using Microsoft software) granularity has already hit. >

Is this true even in the context of improvments in Graphics/3D technology? In other words, do you see the memory requirements not increasing significantly to support more real-life-looking games?

<Higher power is not so nice in consumer products either and when a game is underway I wonder if any of the Rambus power down modes will be usable. >

Do you think it is a big deal for a system that uses only 32 MB? Would your answer change after a generation (i.e., process shrink)?

Chuck

P.S.: A very interesting post! I knew the technology aspect of RDRAM but did not quite know the rationale (original one, any way) behind the product.
