<Rambus solves the problems of high speed PC main memory because it is a complete specification of the memory subsystem. The tight tolerances imposed on RIMM manufacturers will guarantee inter-operability.> Solves? Complete specifications? Guarantee inter-operability? Are you honestly saying this, Mr. Anderson? Didn't you forget that the original Rambus "solution" was 3 RIMM slots, but the third one was later abandoned by Intel? Is it because of those "complete specification of the memory subsystem", or because the spec failed to stand the reality? Short memory I guess... More, why would Dell had so much hassles all the previous year with Rambus systems? Some systems were only available with scarce PC800, while other were "recommended" with pc700 or pc600? Maybe because of this "Errata 28" of Intel's 840 board? ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/workstation/or840/24528806.pdf Let me remaind you the text: "In system configurations with a single 4 or 6 device PC800 RIMM installed in each channel, the system may experience memory errors.. observed behavior can range from being completely transparent to the user to causing system hangs. Workaround: Configure systems with PC800 RIMMs with 8 or more devices... or use PC600 RIMMs" Inter-operability? What a joke! <The tight tolerances imposed on RIMM manufacturers will guarantee inter-operability.> And you are saying that you have designed something... I can tell you what: the "tight tolerances" are imposed because your buddies at Rambus have very little clue on what's going on with signals. Tight tolerances are just a kludge, an insurance that sets up a huge price tag but does not really work. I hope you will stop repeating that "party line" lie covering it with your former achievements. Thank you.
