Petz - RE: "RAMBUS purists will claim that with RDRAM the peak bandwidth is more likely to be reached in real applications with complex addressing patterns. Maybe so, and maybe not, because RDRAM's latency (delay until you get the first bit of the data) is worst than even PC100 memory." Well gaaaawleeee Petz, since DRDRAM is such a GREAT product that has made all other DRAM useless, a company is giving away a 64MB stick of PC100 RAM for FREE, yes, you read that right, FREE!!! All they have to do is plunk down ONLY $1000 for 128MB of DRDRAM! If you separate the costs of the two RAMs, the price of the 128MB DRDRAM drops to ONLY ~$950!!! Doesn't that just make you want to click on over to this link below? You get can get overpriced DRDRAM that barely outperforms SDRAM that costs 1/10 as much! Don't you just love how royalties, low yields, and added costs such as a heatsink can raise the cost of RAM? I bet this company will get zillions of orders! mushkin.com
