Lucius, <Rambus is a higher speed interface superimposed on a DRAM core,> Your assessment of that post is correct, and the guy who posted is right. The RAMBUS is essentially the 4 pieces of regular DRAM, 64-bit-wide internally; then all 8 bytes get demultiplexed into a 8+1-bit external bus. To get the full advertized bandwidth from this interleaving, the access must be done to the same page, otherwise the bank conflict occurs, with corresponding penalty due to initial latency. This latency remains the same as for regular DRAM since the basics remains the same. Paul Endel has a bit superficial knowledge on this subject, and only recently has learned about page modes in contemporary DRAMs.
