Hi Gene Parrott; Re DDR on the motherboard of cheap computers... You're assuming that DDR doesn't come wider than x8 and this is not true, particularly with regard to the memory makers that are more advanced in DDR than Samsung. Probably the thing to remember is that Samsung is an RDRAM house, not a DDR house. The graphics guys use x16 DDR chips, and the industry is now going to x32 chips. If two of those were 256Mbit chips (which is at the upper limit of where the graphics boys would be interested), they would get 64MB on a x64 bus with two DDR chips. To get below that, you would have to put only a single RDRAM chip on the board, and you could then get a 32MB system. There are also x64 DDR chips on the drawing boards, but I don't think anyone has sampled them yet. I have no doubt that this direction is where the PC industry is going. Say goodbye to DIMMs (and RIMMs), but don't say goodbye right away, they are still being designed into plenty of machines. But over the next 3 years, it will become clear that memory no longer belongs on little user friendly module cards. -- Carl
