Carl, You think computer technology needs a "central authority"? Let's see -- Rambus = Central Authority = no compatibility problems with RDRAM Team DDR = No Central Authority = compatibility problems with DDR I'm sure you can figure out the answer, but here's some help: Compatibility problems = angry customers = Bad No compability problems = happy customers = Good Get the picture? It doesn't take long to get a bad reputation and have people abandon the technology. Do I think that will happen in this case? No. But bad press can certainly slow down the adoption. Waaaay down. Communist? Nice try, but you're barking up the wrong tree. When an industry has a history of trying to cut corners, the only way to make sure that the ultimate customer gets a quality product is to put in controls to ensure that the appropriate designs are implemented. Not communism, but an application of free-market capitalism to ensure that the customer is satisfied and comes back for more. I have no doubt that Team DDR will work out the problems. Intel helped them with 100Mhz SDRAM, and while I don't know if Intel will help again, they at least have a model for how to approach the problem. You can only hope they get it fixed before everyone gives up on it (as system memory in the PC, of course). Dave
