Kash - Re: "Having 800Mhz signal wandering all over the board creates major problems in design/manufacturing and quality. I am sure the problems will be solved but it may well take 3-6 months."

As I stated, I believe all these problems have already been solved by Intel.

By solved, I mean complete SOLUTIONS - Chip set, Motherboard layout, etc.

The issue now is one of performance.

As for your suggestion, mounting the RAMBUS chips on a SLOT card won't work because the RDRAM CONTROLLER is in the CHip Set !

However, my intuition is telling me that Intel will be moving the DRDRAM controller on to the CPU in the very near future - as indicated in the upcoming Timna. Then, your suggestion will work.

This will achieve the reduced latency and deliver the performance "promised" by the DRDRAM approach.
