Chic, a few things about Willamette and RDRAM:

1) Willamette will initially be going into high-end workstations costing between $3,000 and $5,000. Obviously people buying such beasts aren't going to be very cost-concious.

2) It is generally agreed that spot prices and contract prices for RDRAM differ by a wide margin. Companies like Dell and Sony are probably getting RDRAM at prices much lower than your average Joe looking at Pricewatch.com.

3) Related to #2, there have been several comparisons posted on this thread between equivalently configured RDRAM and SDRAM desktops from Dell. The price difference is much lower than you might think.
