Judy -

gives an excellent high level semi-technical discussion of RMBS technology. RMBS does not actually make anything but licenses their technology to manufacturers. The concept is not new but the RMBS version was a nice implementation which put a lot of features into one standard.

This technology is currently most applicable to servers (rather than desktops as you suggest). Maybe you were referring to workstations, which have intense memory bandwidth requirements, but this is a very different market than general desktops. As time goes on RMBS will probably play a bigger and bigger role in many other parts of the system. It is not directly applicable to networking except for computers which actually help move network traffic.

There is also the possibility that other memory architectures will replace RMBS - the latency issue mentioned in the other post is a significant problem, and implementation of other memory schemes could solve the bandwidth issue differently. But at the moment RMBS technology seems to have good industry backing and decent legs in high-end applications.
