For the sake of argument, why not provide me with a list of the companies backing the implementation of PC133 as a standard chipset? Then take a look at who is backing the Rambus chipset. There is no comparing a chimp to a gorilla. VT

Is it possible that something could be tilted towards PC133 because it makes sense? If you orientation is towards Rambus, then everything that doesn't support your thesis is Anti-Rambus, or unbiased. Perhaps, just perhaps, it could be that PC133 makes sense and Rambus doesn't in the mind of an unbiased person. Joe, It's the pincount. Future processors will include an onboard memory controller. A single Rambus channel requires 30 pins for 1.6GB bandwidth. Two channels provide 3.2GB. PC133 requires 128 pins for ONE channel. DDRDRAM would require 200 pins for ONE channel. Pincount is very important. As Tenchusatsu pointed out to you in an earlier post this is not feasible thing to do with SDRAM. beta.siliconinvestor.com Regards, Jim

The Platform99 conference is sponsored by the companies competing against Intel. If they have an agenda that is biased against Intel in the business world, then any conference that they all sponsor equally biased. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong, just that they have as much an agenda as Intel does. Dave
