Hi Dave B; Re high price or RIMM modules. This was supposed to change by now, wasn't it? Funny thing, they can find all kinds of reasons why RDRAM doesn't really cost as much as you have to pay for it, but they can't sell it to you cheap...

The odd thing is that those NVIDIA cards that include 4 DDR DRAM chips are going out for $239 each, quite cheap given the amount of silicon in the GeForce controller (which requires a fan, as of the current product).

A reminder for those who forgot the history of RIMM pricing:

July 26, 1999
One small module maker in Taiwan said its 128-Mbyte RIMM sells for $840; Intel officials dismissed that price as an aberration.

Nine months later, the aberration continues.
