Re: This will DEFINITELY not be a "sustainable streaming rate." ...
OOPS! Sorry, Tenchusatsu, you're right, it would burst 4.2, but stream 2.1 - as a best case.
That 3.2 for rambus is also a best case, though, right? And the DDR 266 will be VCM, which allows for more open pages and increases efficiency.
As for pricing - we'll just have to see what a package like that will cost. Complete motherboards, with power regulation, chipset, sockets, capacitors, 64bit data paths, ROM, clock, etc., etc, sell for as little as $70 at retail. I'm a bit skeptical about your estimate that adding a second memory channel to a board will increase costs by $120 to $160 over a single memory channel board.
