Re latency...I noticed this comment from RMBS. Looks like as far as RDRAM is concerned, it is simply "the best mousetrap" compared to other DRAM designs- latency is a problem for ALL DRAM designs.

This helps me feel better <gg>

Even though RDRAM has bigger bandwidth than SDRAM, it
still suffers from a key problem common to all DRAM designs:
latency......<snip>.....

On top of that, is the wait imposed by the system--such as
Direct RDRAM--that transfers that information. Early Direct
RDRAM technology had high latency, but the modern design is
about 10 billionths of a second faster than any other
technology, shipping or planned, Toprani said.
