Hi Steve Lee; Actually, the problem with RDRAM is that it is becoming an application specific (niche) memory.

P.S. I hate to use "Rambus" to describe RDRAM, but I was replying to your post where you used "Rambus" to describe what was going into a Dolphin (see "I have seen no information as to whether Rambus will or will notappear in the Dolphin." #reply-12127262), so rather than being pedantic, I used your terminology. Of course "Rambus" is a company, not a memory type, and can't literally go into a Dolphin.
Re: "Micron going into full production is based on Micron's own statements. If the company is lying, that's not my problem and the SEC should deal with them."
This is a lie on your part, or at the very least you do not remember what actually happened. Micron never put out a press release to the effect that they were going to go into full production on RDRAM. They did put out press releases to the effect that they were prepared to do so, and would do so at various dates in the near future, (I seem to recall 1Q00, 2Q00, 3Q00, and 4Q00 in sequence) but nothing more. Anyone familiar with the industry would have known that Micron never had the intention of going into production unless RDRAM became the new industry standard.
Heck, find me a link where Micron is quoted as saying that they are in full production of RDRAM. I'll look around...
