KZ, This evolutionary path stretches back 30 years and came about as cooperation between the dram makers and the box makers. I'm not sure the 30 years is correct. I don't believe Intel thinks that the EDO transition went smoothly. Here's a quote from the 1996 article (message #29650) I just posted: Dennis Lenehan, director of Memory Industry Enabling for Intel, said the early support of RDRAM was inspired by lessons learned after the company's sudden switch from fast page mode to EDO DRAM, a change which caught many DRAM vendors unaware and is said by Intel to have in part caused a temporary EDO parts shortage. "We've got to get more involved now in warning the DRAM industry," said Mr. Lenehan. "Looking forward, I think we need to get even more active. We need not only to give the industry some warning but we should work together to define DRAM for the PC future."
