sk, it is my opinion. of course, i'm speaking in generalizations about the mass market.

the dram mfrs want to do what they feel will maximize their return. if they felt end consumers would ante up for extra dollars over and above their extra operating expenses then they'd make rmbs head over heels.

they don't. they see demand as being weak enough that the memory mfrs would eat the extra costs.

if true, then the consumers are voting - not the dram mfrs. the dram guys are just doing what their customers are telling them.

intel based performance hounds probably feel like the dram guys are cheating them somewhat. hey, IF rmbs worked, they'd be right ;-)

but they are niche group. the general public wants higher performance at less cost and rmbs doesn't fit that bill. the dram mfrs understand this. well.

btw, does intel's fastest processer outperform amd's fastest athlon?
