Re: "I do not think the DRAM industry has any data or inclination to see the need to increase memory speed this rapidly. However RDRAM throughput is required to feed processor speeds over 700MHz." Maybe, maybe not. It is interesting to see how the newer designs are going toword onchip L2. This will reduce the value of highspeed memory access. In addition one very easy way to double memory bandwidth is to double the databus width. Nevertheless, Intel has stated publicly they are totally committed to rambus memory interfaces, and they have also stated publicly it is too late for them to go with any alternative. Rambus will operate at speeds of 800mhz and above but this doesn't mean the bus will. Being at least 64 bits wide, a 266mhz bus would keep up with a 1.6GBPS Rambus memory subsystem. So would a 133mhz double pumped bus. EP
