"..high speed, exotic,expensive memory, as in Rambus 1066 or better, will be required; meaning P4 will go from mainstream, to being a niche chip, because of the extra costs. .... How many secretaries really need exotic memory ?"

You keep forgetting the typical Intel's marketing scam.
Yes, secretaries do not really need the exotic memory,
but benchmarking sites do. So the propaganda will trumpet
high scores from exotic systems as a solo achievement of
Pentium-4 "net-burst-stream-sh1t architecture", while
the mass market will use and sell handicapped computers
with a proud P4 logo on the face. A very working scheme.
