Jim, you said "RDRAM is still a new technology. The OS drivers have not been written/rewritten to take advantage of its architectural features." What are these architectural features that require software providers to rewrite their software to use the potential of Rambus? And wouldn't that be a negative for the PC makers? The 820 should be better out of the box on existing software, shouldn't it? What software needs to be re-written? Adobe PhotoShop? All high end graphics from ISV's? (As for ATA, I suspect Intel has upgraded the device drivers at some time on all platforms). You also said, "It would be great to use the new ATA driver, get a new GEFORCE driver, ...." Do you think that graphics driver upgrades are platform dependent? Will there be a GEFORCE driver specifically for the 820? TIA PS, I believe it was the Register article that you referenced, and on which you're basing your arguments. <g>
