Carl,

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.

Should I take your rambling, generic response to indicate that you haven't found any evidence to back up your claim that RDRAM suffered incompatibility problems? You asked for a challenge, and I offered it. As I said, I'm certainly willing to admit I'm wrong if you find the evidence (just like last time <G>). This time, however, I think you spoke before you thought.

Team DDR has admitted to DIMM incompatibility problems, just as we said there would be. Unless you find something no one has come up with yet, the same cannot be said about RDRAM.
