RE: <KZNerd, John, would you have a link?

Thanks, John. I see that 256MB RIMMs from Samsung, NEC, and Kingston are validated by Intel and also 288MB RIMMs from Samsung, Kingston, and Toshiba. (I also noted that Intel's validation for Rdrams merely consists on running it on a tester with a Rambus supplied test program on 2 to 5 devices and characterizing the RLC parameters on 1 to 5 devices. For RIMMs they run 2 to 5 units on a HP8753E Vector Network Analyzer. But no system testing.)

But, anyway, at least there are 256MB RIMMs that have undergone this validation so some must exist. However, I am puzzled by why I don't see the KM416RD8D part listed on the page showing validated Rdrams:
developer.intel.com since accordingly to the Samsung webpage:
usa.samsungsemi.com
this part number is the reverse bonded Rdram needed for the backside of a 256MB RIMM. Maybe Intel is slow updating their website or maybe Samsung hasn't pushed it very hard.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF 256MByte RIMMs ARE AVAILABLE IN MASS PRODUCTION AT THIS TIME?????

It would sure be nice to know this since it seems to mean the difference between 512MB Max memory and 256MB Max mem.
