You are hawking DDR because AMD thinks the association of Rambus with Intel is to AMD's disadvantage.

No, actually, Intel's association with Rambus has been a great advantage to AMD so far.

You justify yor resort to insults as a way of learning.

I have learned a thing or too by reading this thread (nothing from your posts, as I mentioned). There may be some merit to Rambus when used with Foster / Willy, given that the price of RDRAM about the same as the price of DDR SDRAM.

You are comparing future AMD products against current Intel products and you do not think there is a problem.

I was thinking more in terms of future AMD products vs. future Intel products, it is the future products that pit Rambus challenger: DDR in both AMD and Intel systems against Rambus in Intel systems, (systems which can actually take advantage of some of the strong points that Rambus has to offer).

Regarding present AMD vs. Intel products, Rambus has been an albatross for Intel. Intel misjudged readiness of supporting platform (820, 840), availability and price competitiveness of Rambus, and the need for such an exotic memory for a fairly pedestrian processor - Coppermine. Intel should have waited one cycle, until Willy.
