Re: "To paraphrase James Carwell: "It's the latency ......""

Here's a nice editorial from Real World Tech about DRDRAM--some technical issues and some other stuff about a gag rule that the Rambus DRAM imposes on licensees.

"Potential problems with the Rambus technology are latency (which is, at the very least, no better than current memory implementations) and power requirements. In fact, many experts seem to agree that for uniprocessor, single user environments, Rambus technology will provide absolutely no benefits whatever! Despite this, consumers will be paying a very hefty price for the privilege of using it."
