Ten, <RDRAM's ability to pipeline transactions...>
SDRAM has this ability from day one. And usually
four banks in each DIMM as well. The trick
is that the this feature buys you very little
since the read and write-back traffic rarely
hit the open pages due to bad address locality. I
guess this is something that your engineers (and
yourself) need to know before "investing millions
in RAMBUS".

<the additional cost for a motherboard which
supports dual PC100 SDRAM channels will be higher
thanks to the increased pin count.>
Do you have any remote idea how much it will
cost to maintain signal integrity on a 800MHz bus
in mass production environment? Do you think
Intel is backing off to 300/600MHz for no reason?
