RE: <Just check the postings by Scumbria, Kash Johal, KZnerd, Charles R, to name a few. I think that DRDRAM will remain a niche technology for the foreseeable future.> I've posted a number of anti-rambus posting over the last few months but I don't think that rambus will remain a niche technology for the foreseeable future. My negative postings have been due to: 1. Someone tries to oversell rambus advantages 2. I think that Intel has made a mistake in rushing into rambus with Coppermine too fast and it is a poor business decision. I expect that rambus usage will grow pretty rapidly and reach penetration levels of 30-50% in a few years. It does have some long term advantages which will eventually become very important. It just won't get there immediately because the dram industry can't switch that fast and rambus' advantages aren't needed badly at this time.
