<<This is a good question, and is a possible indication of your desire to learn something.>> Yes, I am trying to learn something thank you. When you respond beligerantly to me I do the same to you until I just put you on ignore for a while. <<All this goes back to showing why it is that when another company makes a DDR DIMM, it has to be "qualified" to show it works in a given motherboard. RDRAM has the same problem, that is why Intel publishes a list of RIMM modules that are compatible on their website. As I've said before, if you want an early DDR machine, you should buy it with all the memory already installed, it could save you a lot of headaches. All that stuff is likely to be worked out a couple quarters later. One of the worst (modern) problems is the serial PROM that holds data regarding the DIMM. SDRAM has had numerous problems with those. RDRAM has had a fairly easy life largely because it has not been available from very many memory makers. Compatibility problems magnify when you have large numbers of suppliers.>> Does RDRAM have an easy life because of a published Rimm spec, instead of the limited number of suppliers as you suggest. << that is why Intel publishes a list of RIMM modules that are compatible on their website>> Is there a RIMM other than perhaps MU's that is not qualified? If not, I suggest RDRAM has an easier time because of a single spec. <<All that stuff is likely to be worked out a couple quarters later. >> Isn't it kind of silly to push out a product and worry about problems a quarter or 2 later? If INTC did this would you be having a laugh attack right now?
