Scumbria: You still don't get it. Dave is rightly pointing out that DDR has not lived up to its potential. If RDRAM had this long a "break-in" period, you guys would have been screaming bloody murder. There is still no proof, none whatsoever, that the guys that matter, the decision makers at the big firms, are going to commit to DDR. It does not matter what the "engineers are designing for". That can be changed, dumped, redirected in a hearbeat....as you remind us should have been done with Rambus.

DDR has some very real questions surrounding its ability to be used widely in the desktop right now. Because you got that lucky Micron Electronics PC that works great is not going to satisfy Michael Dell or a rebuilding Compaq that they should bet the store on it.

RDRAM may, in your view, be a lousy architecture that costs too much....but it works. That counts for a lot right now.
