Jim, Odd isn't it that the major planned uses of DDR are for graphics while the planned uses of RDRAM are for motherboards? Looks like the engineering community thinks has views opposite yours. Does that bother you at all? Intel made a serious strategic mistake picking DRDRAM. I'm not sure that it is fair to blame it on engineering. If the cost was lower, graphics cards would use DRDRAM. There have been several graphics designs which require multiple high bandwidth channels, for which DRDRAM would be a good engineering solution. Network cards (like Sitera) also can enjoy the same advantages from DRDRAM that graphics cards can. This is because they require multiple channels, and are bandwidth limited rather than latency limited. I wonder why Sony is not using DDR in PS2? DRDRAM is a good choice for PS2, for the reasons I outlined above. I suspect that Sony is getting a very good price for their DRDRAM, in order to generate publicity and keep the product alive.
