Pete,

All in all, RDRAM has too low of a Benefit given its costs. At $560 per 128MB, SRAM would be cheaper (it usually costs about 3x DRAM cost but has higher performance) and better.

That reminds me, long time ago when Dell Computer used to be called PC Limited, they sold this computer with SRAM instead of DRAM. It had only about 1 MB of memory, but it was faster than the competition using the same processor. I wonder why nobody uses this anymore in special cases, and instead, RDRAM is used, which doesn't really outperform SDRAM by much.
