Hi Dave B; Re DDR to hit 3x RDRAM system bandwidth by 1 year from now... That 3x system bandwidth is only a minor modification (possibly uBGA package) of a die that is currently shipping with 1.5x RDRAM system bandwidths. Sure, Rambus will announce a 4x RDRAM this summer. After what happened to their previous technology, how can anyone expect that this new attempt will be warmly welcomed by the memory makers? The overclockers are already running their 333MHz DDR chips at 400MHz and higher. 600MHz isn't that far away. By contrast, no one has reports of any overclockers stepping up the performance of PC800. To get to a 4x, Rambus is likely going to double the bus width to 32/36 bits. (Eliminating most of their advantage in terms of pin count.) and also double the frequency to 1600MHz. In other words, it's a joke. -- Carl
