Richard, the article doesn't say anything specific about the memory technology in Nintendo's new Dolphin console. It just says this: Nintendo graphics chipset will use as low as 8MBs and as high as 16MBs of on-board embedded DRAM. ... It is not yet known just how much system RAM Nintendo's machine will include. So I guess the graphics chipset will have its own embedded memory, while the system itself will also have external DRAM memory. The article says that the bandwidth of the DRAM will be 3.2 GB/sec, which is exactly the same as the DRDRAM in Sony's Playstation 2. That, along with the fact that the Nintendo 64 presently uses RDRAM (older version of DRDRAM), tells me that Dolphin will use DRDRAM. Tenchusatsu
