KZ,

Also, 1 GB would have to be using 256 MBit Rdrams since I am very certain that there is a hard limit of 32 chips on a Rambus channel since the protocol only have 5 bits for device. I think that the 1GB refers to the future and today max memory would be 3 slots x 128 MB = 384 MB.

There's also the following line from the Intel article that Investartist just posted:

"Direct RDRAM will be introduced on workstation motherboards featuring the Intel© Pentium© III Xeon? processor in Q3 1999. These motherboards will run at 133MHz and support up to 4GB of RDRAM"

I can't explain how they get there, since I think your 384M max with 128M RIMMs is correct (obviously it would be 768M with 2 RDRAM channels, which these boards use).
