Chuck,

Is this not an issue that was covered during the design for graphics chip?

It depends on the market which the graphics processor is being sold into. $50 worth of cooling costs is not a huge problem for professional graphics, but obviously is unacceptable for a consumer product.

DDRSDRAM will run into the same kinds of power problems as DRDRAM. Bandwidth comes at a price, regardless of the bus being used to connect to it.
