Re: Now select all that and do a copy and paste Well, that was pretty much where I was going. A second set of traces, and a second rambus module, should add to the cost of producing for this value conscious segment. I'm harping on about the second module because I suppose that rambus, relative to SDRAM, will be more more economical at higher module densities, to produce some returns to scale so to speak. Is this incorrect? With SDRAM, there isn't much cost difference between 2 64 meg modules and 1 128 meg module, I'm wondering if DRDRAM wouldn't be relatively better off with a single 128 meg module, since the modules are more complex, with (relatively) more silicon going to control functions rather than memory cells. I wouldn't expect doubling the number of memory cells to double the required interface/control circuitry. Dan
