Joe: I understand what Carl said.....but now for at least eighteen months there has been a drive to produce an alternative to Rambus. I suppose the need was perceived. We moved from the 100 Megahertz FSB to 133 and beyond. CPU speeds move up, up, up.

During all this debate Carl and others have explained over and over how one of DDR's great strengths was that it was a logical extension of SDRAM and did not require massive retooling, reengineering, etc. O.K., fine..great. If so, how long should it take to produce a working chipset? I think if it was as basic and "evolutionary rather than revolutionary" as stated, working prototypes ought to be out and around by now. But, I am not an engineer and I understand that I don't recognize how really complex many of these issues are. So, I am just curious. As a marketing guy, I would tell you that I need that product now, right now, yesterday! <g>
