Scumbria, I would appreciate it if you would not attribute positions to me that I have not taken. To wit: I have never said that DDR does not exist. It has been used for sometime now in Graphics boards as we all know. I have not said that DDR is not available. I have not said that AMD is using RDRAM. Although they are hiring RDRAM engineers possibly. I believe that they will be using RDRAM in the future. You are so biased in your reading of contrary posts that you do not understand what you are reading. The facts are that there are NO "production" chipsets to support the DDR for use in Desktop and server platforms currently. The "prototype" shown today is not a production system it is a "laboratory queen." You are getting ahead of yourself in your desire to elevate DDR to a full RDRAM competitor. INTEL has said that they will use DDR at 100MHZ in their servers later this year or perhaps early next year. So DDR will happen in the same time frame. At that time, if not before, there will be production chipsets for DDR. Production chipsets to support DDR are not currently available. In fact motherboards to support DDR are not available. I like Tenchusatu believe that they could be made to work on boards with somewhat less than 12 layers. But that is academic now. RDRAM is a real production product DDR simply is not! It appears that by the time that DDR makes a showing in the server's as main memory that RDRAM bandwidth will have doubled again as promised by RAMBUS. So I expect to see RDRAM in servers as well as high performance desktops. I think that the Intel road map is quite sensible and will come to pass. JK
