pc expo info... this was posted by jdaasoc on the yahoo thread. i am sure he will comment here too. messages.yahoo.com i just spoke with fred hager. he was also at the expo today. fred said he visited dell, nec and others trying to get rambus scoops..no luck. the 2 folks manning the nec booth did not know what rambus is. fred went on to say the private suite briefings are probably alive with rambus but they require private invitations and non-disclosure agreements for admittance. fred, thank you for the call. unclewest

Full page Toshiba Rambus advert in 7 June 99 Electronics Times "Performance without restriction. Take it from Toshiba." Picture of two hourglasses, one with half the sand at the top, the other a large straight-sided cylinder with a pile of sand at the bottom. Picture of RIMM. "Fed up with waiting for your PC to catch up with you? Imagine how much faster and more user-friendly your next PC could be if the CPU was no longer hampered by the memory bottleneck, but could utilise its full power. Our Direct RAMbus memory modules run at 800 MHz and provide data transfer rates of 1.6 Gbytes/sec. They're another innovation from Toshiba, set to become the industry standard for the next generations of PCs. As well as that, they'll provide a significant power boost for a multitude of other applications, such as graphics, games and communications. It's technology that's available now. Why wait?
