[[...>>Did you see Samsung's announcement to build a sub $200 PC using exclusively Rambus?<<

missed that one. what, 1 meg rdram? i bet we don't see such a box for a long, long time - if ever at all....]]

The key was that it was unexpandable. They can paste their own unmarkedup parts directly onto the PCB without needing to build a module or perform separate memory testing. It is possible that they may even be able to use partial reject parts from their own commercial production, making their cost near zero. It certainly is no indication of commercial viability, and being low end, it says nothing about performance.
