Petz - Re: "the bigger problem with RDRAM right now is that no one is selling RDRAM bigger than 128M, which means that those Camino-chipset motherboards are limited to 256M of RAM"
Now there you go again - passing off ERRONEOUS INFORMATION !!!

The 256MB RIMM modules provide workstation customers, high-density and high-bandwidth modules. ''Kingston's ability to provide the latest generation 256MB, 800MHz RIMM modules, reinforces our longstanding commitment to Rambus technology,'' stated Wai Szeto, vice president, Strategic Business Development, Kingston. ''Kingston's expertise in R&D, testing and manufacturing enabled the company to propel the release of the newest 256MB, 800MHz RIMM modules,'' added Szeto.
Available immediately, the 256MB modules can initially be purchased in limited quantities directly through Kingston, by calling (877) 435-VRAM or by visiting the Kingston's web site at kingston.com.
In addition to the 256MB modules, Kingston Technology will also offer 800MHz modules in densities of 128MB and 64MB. Kingston will offer a broad array of modules sizes depending on industry requirements.
Today's announcement further emphasizes Kingston's commitment to future memory technologies, like Rambus. The release of RIMM modules for the Intel OR840 workstation motherboard last month, was a precursor to today's announcement. Kingston was first in the memory enhancement industry to start manufacturing, testing, and shipping Rambus modules starting in March 1998, and today has shipped more than 15,000 RIMM modules to OEMs and other customers. Kingston offers an industry-leading selection of validated RIMM modules, and is currently in production with RIMM modules compatible with Intel's OR840 workstation motherboard and other future motherboards.
Kingston Technology has been working with Intel Corporation and Rambus Inc. since March 1998. As the leading independent manufacturer of memory modules, Kingston made an early and strategic decision to commit major resources to support next-generation memory technologies like Rambus' technology. Kingston has not only invested tens of millions in new manufacturing lines and high-end Hewlett-Packard® and Advantest® testers, but has also dedicated senior engineers to oversee all aspects of its Rambus program. |
