All, Some of the DDR on the GeForce256 might be DDR SGRAM. It's a special type of SDRAM that supports Blockwrite. With a built-in color register, the graphics processor can issue a fast-clear command at up to 8x the normal write speed. These SGRAM memories are also a premium over std sdram, so using them in as system memory would be a waste of good money. Also, it appears the Graphics guys will probably buy as much DDR SGRAM as they can get their hands on for the rest of the year. By 2H00, there's a good chance about half of all 3D graphics cards will have 32MB or more (it's 38% now), but the bulk will be SDR memory until the DDR supply catches up. There should be 5.5ns DDR samples out there, but supply is still low. Also, the price of PC100 sdram seems to have gone down significantly. It used to be the PC100 are 7ns memory, but recently, the 7ns and 6ns seems to be used for PC133 and even 9ns memory is marked as PC100. Weird?
