Carl, The reason for SDRAM not showing up immediately into the main memory market were similar to the reason that RDRAM had problems, latency. The reason that SDRAM beat out BEDO as the memory of choice for motherboards, was because it made system design much simpler. BEDO's asynchronous interface made the small latency gain not worth the trouble. DRDRAM offers no such engineering advantage. Having fewer pins does not compensate for the high module cost. The latency is worse than DDR, and the bandwidth is no better. There is no rational engineering reason to put DRDRAM on a motherboard. Intel is locked into DRDRAM for political reasons, but I'll bet that there are a lot of people at Intel who wish they could get away from it. Scumbria
