<KZNerd has postulated that if Rambus "reformulates" the RDRAM design to have fewer banks, then current versions of chips and controllers will be incompatible with the "New and Improved" version.>

Let me find out tomorrow. I don't know if the Rambus protocol is flexible enough to accomodate the "reformulated" version. I think it should be, though I'm not certain.

Dave,

KZNerd has postulated that if Rambus "reformulates" the RDRAM design to have fewer banks, then current versions of chips and controllers will be incompatible with the "New and Improved" version.

Does this sound correct?


No. Rambus is protocol based, so I find it hard to believe that there would be no provision for adjusting such things at the BIOS level if not automatically. It might be possible to deduce more by studying the data sheets, or asking Rambus.

John
