Bilow: Rambus is about sending information to and from a memory. The technology is supposed to provide a better design in terms of bandwidth per dollar. I always try to only quote others who are knowledgeable about technology since I am no expert. I was cleaning up some paperwork tonight and found my notes from Pat Gelsinger's keynote speech for International Test Conference on Sep 28. RMBS stock was @ 59 at the time. Gelsinger had a slide stating doubling of AGP bandwidth rate every 12 months. After reading about Hydunai's DDR memory for video cards, it got me to thinking. Either memory bandwidth will have to double in width every year or video memory clock speed will have to double every year or some combination of the two to meet Gelsinger's prediction. We are already at 128 bit wide memory for video. What are the practical limits for width in video memory applications. It appears that DDR memory for graphics adapters will get us through 2000(4XAGP) and DDR-II will get us through 2001 (8XAGP). What type of memory do you expect for 16XAGP in 2002. Don't you like these leading questions that I pose. john
