RE: <The only reason I reply when someone expresses concern over having to "route 800 MHz signals" on mobos to connect Rambus modules is that just because it's 800 Megabits per second per data line, it doesn't mean it's an 800 MHz signal. Instead, it's "only" 400 MHz. Tough enough anyway, 400, but 800 would be far higher, as far as physical trace routing goes, than any important digital computer technology that I know of (although there may be some), and scary right now.> Smell the coffee, Tony. The signals switch at 800 MHz. Only the clocks switch at 400 MHz.
