Re: "Tony, I apologize. The signals do not switch faster than 400 MHz." No! No! No! The signals ARE switching at 800 MHz. There are 2 data switches (potentially) per 400MHz clock. This may seem as a symantic agruement but on a 400MHz clock you are only considering the rising edge but with 2 edges it is perfectly valid to call it 800 MHz. Data is valid every 1.25 NS so why do you call it anything but 800 MHz? Drop this clock centric view. EP So 2 x 400MHz = 800MHz
