Carl, I think Rambus will play a most important role with PC's that need to stream data from Video sources, high transfer rates involving the AGP running 4x, the disk drives boosted to ATA66 spec, video teleconf. Yes these are all high perf machine functions, that today we arent doing. But we will be. I never thought I would be connected to the internet with a cable modem so soon, but here I am connected at 2-4Mbits(supposedly). Anyway, I agree with your statements, I think some benchmarks will have to be re-written to test for RDRAM perf. which is not easy as the L1-L2 caches increase in size, but my understanding is RDRAM will really come into play with the more complex functions we will be doing above. The question I have is when will mainstream really need this memory performance, or when does the memory performance not cost a premium? Maybe these two will merge at some point and it will be a non issue. Good trading.
