Tenchusatsu:

Issue #1
"they can scale up in both speed and width without external constraints. Intel sees this as a key for desktop systems as they evolve through this decade."

Issue #2
"cost and packaging constraints"
The ASP of a PC will continue to drop so will RDRAM. The DRAM manufacturers appear to have gotten die size down to 10% increase. Packaging costs will decrease as more and more volume production is implimented.

Issue #3
Cost of testing of DRAM - I think that problems of testing this type of high speed circuits: the RDRAM, the RIMMs and stuffed motherboards (the three RIMM snafu) nearly killed RDRAM in computers before they got a chance to be released. It took over 6 months for the industry to realize that high speed computing was going to take a little more effort to test correctly.
