Re: "According to Bilow on the Rambus thread, DRDRAM uses more pins than SDRAM. This is because of additional wires required per data line, to enhance signal integrity"

This is incorrect. RMBS uses about 1/4 the pins on the package that an SDRAM controller would. The RMBS bus itself uses differential pairs but that's only 16 bits plus the clocks and it's transaction based. I don't remember the exact pincount and I don't have a document here where I am. If it weren't a major pincount reduction there'd be no reason for it AFAIK.
