Hi all; I just put a long post onn Intel's financial support of memory makers RDRAM production, and it is of some interest here, I suppose. Conclusion:

In short, Intel paid the memory makers to prepare for RDRAM production. What they got, was an industry that is in near perfect shape for conversion to DDR production. The various memory makers ensured that they would have DDR capability either by making sure that their SDRAM testers (which are probably 90% of their memory ATE equipment) are DDR compatible, or by purchasing RDRAM testers that can be easily converted to DDR testing.

Because of Intel's financial contributions to the memory makers, the transition to DDR will be one of the easiest in history for the memory makers.
