pompsander:
When my wife looked over my shoulder as I was writing scalability in a previous post, she said that not a word. The explanation I will give you will hopefully be more satisfactory than my wife's response to it "It's still not a word".

Scalability refers to the ability of a technology to scale it's performance with increasing system speed.
The best analogy I can give is that SDRAM technology is like trying to fight a fire under a condition of low water pressure(100 Mhz). No matter how many wide hoses (pins) you add to use your not going to get more water per minute.
With RMBS technology, the water pressure is high (800 MhZ) even though hose is smaller. In addition, if you need water you add more 800 MHz hydrants.
