Hi Gene Parrott; Re PC133 222 pricing compared to RDRAM: Mushkin's PC800 RDRAM gets as cheap as $638: mushkin.com Compare to various PC133 memory types, the most expensive is $222 for an ECC PC133 222 at Mushkin: mushkin.com Micron's pricing is cheaper, but do they have stock? Price of 128MByte x64 PC133 -75 (333) DIMM at Crucial is $128.69 Price of 128MByte x64 PC133 -7E (222) DIMM is also $128.69 crucial.com VC-SDRAM is so rare as to be essentially unavailable. If I wanted some I would order it direct from NEC. (Actually, I'd consider just asking for some free samples.) But if DELL wanted to ship product with it, I am sure it could be provided reasonably cheaply. VIA has a certain amount of history of producing chipsets for next generation memory (in addition to VC-SDRAM). They put out a chipset that supported DDR back 2 or 3 years ago. The market didn't want it, so they shelved it. SDRAM had similar problems when it took over from DRAM. The memory makers tried to get everybody to use it, but computer performance is so little a function of memory bandwidth (except with multi-processor server boards), that the industry wouldn't pay the premium. Eventually the premium dropped to nearly zero, so the chipset people phased in support. VIA is supposed to show a DDR chipset on Monday. Given their penchant for making chipsets for leading edge memory technologies, it is significant that they have not embraced Rambus. -- Carl
