I'd like a specific name of a specific product at a specific company. Ok, the nVidia NV10. Happy? PC-133 is a replacement for PC-100 -- not even the DDR crowd is trying to position it as anything more than a transitional product. DDR and RDRAM are going head to head. Not in PC main memory. PC133 and Rambus are the alternatives. There may be some high-end multiprocessor systems that use DDR, but for a normal system there's no benefit. Everything is transitional. Who knows what will happen when Intel's next big thing (Willemette) comes out in late 2000/early 2001. They might put Rambus controllers on the CPU, which would settle the matter.

RE: <What do you mean by "promote"? "Promote" means to publicize the message about your product or services. The message can include product benefits, corporate information, et cetera.> Of course the dram industry never did much of that since their customers are the large OEMs and most of the communication is in conference rooms. But if you'd like to follow DDR try this: ami2.com You can look around and see DDR specs and even read about how this organization is going to trump Rambus' marketing-inspire coining of the PC800 name by using PC2100 to reference to a module with 2100 Mhz data rate. And on the home page you can see a list of the DDR partners -- seems like every dram company -- the same companies from Unclewest's Rambus list! Next I'll try to find the web page for the DDR-II consortium.
