Scumbria, >>I don't know much about it, so I will have to abstain.<< I love an honest answer. Is it possible that there is something here that could sway you towards Rambus? Shibumi used to talk about this (he hasn't been around for quite a while). He said that almost all the engineers at Rambus are analog people. There's other people on this thread that have talked about it more recently. I think John Walliker is one. Can someone please brief Scumbria on the analog argument? For the record: Scumbria was the first one to say that Rambus would have a big edge in graphics applications. And before that he said it could replace SDRAM if it could be made cheaply enough. >>It would make DRDRAM a viable choice for Timna products, and would be very beneficial to the product line.<< Does Rambus bring extra costs to the mother board or is it cheaper? At 10% premium it wouldn't make sense to use SDRAM would it? >>I haven't heard about it. Do you have any pointers?<< I'm not sure it's that big an issue. Here is a response by Tenchusatsu to a Dan3 post: Message 10975897 >>Paul mentions me in his bio. In a most flattering fashion I'm sure!<< He's a real charmer. Oh well, that shoots my multiple-personality theory: two super-smart techies, both had dogs for 13 years that died recently, both live in Si Valley, one started a new career about the same time the other one retired early... w
