Unless you want to take the chance of making a chip that will only
work with a memory type that is unavailable, you never, ever, ever
design a processor that runs with only a single type of RAM. Memory
is always going on allocation, and that means that your CPU sales
will be limited, and your competitor capable of using the RAM types
not on allocation grabs your sales. Designing only RAMBUS
compatible processors would be an incredible gift to the competition,
and isn't going to happen. Even generic DRAM sometimes goes
on allocation. Specialty RAM does it all the time.

This is why motherboards typically allow both SDRAM and DRAM,
and if allowing DRAM, also allow EDO and FPM.
