Cirruslvr,

Sure. In fact, it answers one of the recent questions by the group:

A performance problem?

A recent study by Bert McComas of InQuest Market Research concluded that Rambus won't live up to the performance benefits that Rambus, Intel, and others have claimed. Extrapolating from data that Dell released at the Intel Developers' Forum in August, McComas said Rambus systems were 25 percent slower than conventional SDRAM systems running ordinary Microsoft Office 2000 applications.

Dell disagreed with the interpretation, saying that the numbers had been taken out of context. "He misrepresented some numbers," said Dell spokesman Jon Weisblatt.

So apparently Dell has responded to McComas' posting.

RE: <Rambus PCs will lag debut of new memory system>

Box makers wait for Coppermine to launch Camino/Rambus PCs. That's a real yawner since no one, not even Dell, would intro a Rambus PC if they didn't have a more powerful micro to go with it.
