Ekid, <Is IBM new memory "standard" DDR, or some proprietary implemantation? if the latter, wouldn't that mean we are going to have different favors of DDR.>

No, I don't think this is a proprietary implementation. I may be mistaken, but I think this IBM's announcement marks the beginning of DDR SDRAM's entry into the marketplace. Previously, DDR has only been used in graphics controllers.

However, IBM's DDR modules will be first used by their Netfinity and NUMA-Q servers. Previously, those servers have been using either SDRAM or EDO DRAM. RDRAM is currently being targeted towards desktop and workstation PCs. That means that DDR and RDRAM can and will coexist, at least for a while.

So I don't see IBM's DDR introduction as a negative for Rambus.
