Tenchusatsu,

I'm sure in Sony's case, it was MUCH more cost-effective to go with two RDRAM chips to provide 3.2 GB/sec in bandwidth than to go with two oversized 64-bit DDR chips.

I believe (I don't have my notes -- doing this from memory) that Tate said at the annual meeting that Sony estimated that they saved something like $30 in product cost by going with RDRAM.

That would buy a lot of heatsinks.
