Jonh, re <Rambus network matching within 1%>
This is in theory. The difference between a theory
and practice is usually much bigger in practice
than in theory :)

<1200 MHz ...because of the 1ns rise and fall times imposed by the slew rate limiting of the RSL outputs.>

You have to check the "1ns" one more time. AFAIK, Most
signals are speced with 300ps rise time (in theory),
which equates to 2.5-3GHz bandwidth.
In practice no one knows because the Intel/Rambus
recommended equipment to observe these signals
is limited to 2.5GHz only.

<This is much better than I had expected. The Rambus
channel really does seem to be of very high quality.>
Yes, in theory. You know, computers can compute
equations pretty accurately these days...

I am glad you started to research the Rambus theory
in depth. When can you get a Rambus system to
verify your findings?

Sorry, just joking a bit :) :)
