Hi Dave B; The basic problem here is that mom and pop know so little about memory that they are willing to believe any piece of total complete unadulterated garbage that the management at Rambus puts out. Rather than continue the useless task of trying to figure out how someone not skilled in the art distinguishes between "chipset" problems and "DDR" or "RDRAM" problems, lets get back to that shining concept of why Rambus is better: *RDRAM IS STANDARD EVERYWHERE AND IDENTICAL* (LOL!!!) Those of you who think that every memory stick (RDRAM, SDRAM or DDR SDRAM) is essentially a black box with no internal structure just don't have any idea what goes into one. If you guys had any experience actually looking through data sheets for differences and similarities you would get off this topic, but then again, if you knew about memory you wouldn't be handing me this line of bull either, would you. Don't you remember when I collated for you the differences between various varieties of Direct RDRAM? More recently, here's a list of how many different packages RDRAM comes in: 112 FBGA (Micron) 92 uBGA (Samsung) 62 uBGA (Samsung) 54 uBGA (Samsung) micron.com usa.samsungsemi.com Now that you understand that RDRAMs do not follow a tight standard, why do you believe that RIMMs follow a tight standard? RIMMs are made of RDRAM. That means that RIMMs made from different RDRAMs are different. It is quite possible for a chipset to work with one but be marginal with another. It is possible for a chipset to not work with RIMMs that have particular numbers of particular types of RDRAM. This has already happened. Where RDRAM has so far been lucky is that there are only three chipsets using it, and only 2 companies that have produced much RDRAM. In other words, RDRAM is such a niche product that they haven't had the full experience of finding out whether they are compatible or not. Also see: #reply-14445998 -- Carl
