Hey Jerry, The Rambus wave just keeps getting pushed farther and farther back... Why? Because it's a pretty worthless technology, for the most part. RDRAM increases memory bandwidth, but the big tradeoff with bandwidth is latency. Net net, RDRAM systems hardly perform any faster than those with SDRAM memory. Not to mention that all but highly-3D applications use less than 7% of available memory bandwidth (be it SDRAM or EDO). So basically, instead of addressing the real issue, Latency, which would noticeably increase overall system performance, Intel economically wants to keep the bottleneck on the CPU (though unfortunately for them the bottleneck has increasingly become the network, but that's another topic..). So basically, Rambus was in the right place at the right time, and Intel annointed them to be the vaunted "next generation memory interface." I won't go as far (publicly) to call INTC/RMBS a charade, but well... -Sal BTW: I appreciate all the legal commentary you've been making. Just with I had time to read all the posts, and especially to post here more often..
