Scumbria, Sorry that you have gone over to the dark side. IMO, it was you that made the journey. Why are you obsessing about $200? I asked politely about this number and you refused to answer and tried to change the subject. It was certainly important enough to you to try to compare a $15 processor with $200 worth of RDRAM memory. All you had to say was "oops, I made a mistake, it's closer to $30 dollars of RDRAM, not $200". Even Carl admits occassionally when he makes a mistake. I have little respect for people who can't admit their mistakes and correct them. Even less for people who try to wiggle out of the issue by changing the subject, acting hurt that you don't believe them, etc. The point is that embedded systems need low cost memory to be economical. As I said, low-cost systems will continue to be SDRAM. BTW: Your estimate of $6.84 for 16MB of DRDRAM is a little bit silly, don't you think? A good embedded NT system needs at least 32MB and probably 64MB to be useful. You can scale the number quite easily. It's just multiplication. And it still an order of magnitude less than $200. BTW, from what I've seen, most closed-box systems are using Linux when they can, which I believe is more stable and requires less memory. Intel is pushing i815e very hard in the embedded space. Why do you think that is? See the above response about SDRAM.
