zs, Intel has always been trying to scam and bribe Rambus into a real product, while Dell and the other OEMs seem to have a problem with a memory chip that costs more but runs slower. <g>

Good articles from very opinionated commentator McComas (you probably don't have to imagine what the Rambus bulls think of him over on their thread). Even with a grain of salt, these and others by McComas (all on inqst.com) indicate erstwhile threadmate Earlie's (hope he returns sometime soon..) longtime Rambus thesis remains pretty strong: while RMBS stock is valued as if all PC's were badly constrained by memory bandwidth, any bottleneck that currently exists in your PC from DRAM likely is latency-related. RDRAM does not offer any latency advantage to which I am privy, Samsung's whitewash.. er, white paper notwithstanding. -mb
