Uncle, I am a Rambus advocate as you know, but Samsung can hardly be considered impartial! There is another latency issue with Rambus, which their paper does not cover. Normally most of the individual RAMBUS chips on a RIMM will be in a low power "doze" mode, to keep the heat output down. Typicaly only 2 of the 8 or 16 chips are active at any time. Most of the time this will not be an issue, but when the access changes from one chip to another, then there is the "wake up" time to consider as well to calculate the average latency. On the other hand the analysis which shows that PC133 sucks is great news, and lets hope Intel are taking this into account as they do their "evaluation" Ian
