You have admitted previously that your area of experience is microprocessor design, and that your lack of admiration for RDRAM is based on this knowledge. You seem to be missing the point that Rambus as an interface talks not only to the CPU, but also to the RAM, and that a successful memory architecture must consider chipset and motherboard issues as well as MPU issues.

So, while DDR sticks exist, DDR on a motherboard is still non-functional. I believe we will see single channel versions of it soonish, but while RDRAM can scale to multichannel configurations, DDR is not good at this. In fact it is so bad at this that I doubt we will see DDR ever taken above 2 channels (if it even gets that far) on a mainstream chipset.
