Re: "I guess, the important things to remeber with RAMBUS technology(400MHZ clock) are that the Data rate is 800MHz, and the timing rules are 800MHZ based. Also, 800 MHz timing rules apply to the data bus layout on the PC board. IMHO, the apparent data signal switching rate on the data bus can be viewed either way ( <=400MHZ or 800Mhz) depending on the definitions you apply. "

Thanks, wish we could have just agreed on this from the beginning.

Whew! Thanks! That's pretty concise.

Goutama,

Using 800 MHz to describe this would not be appropriate. There is a simple way in the industry to describe this: 800 MT/sec (T= transfers).

There is nothing in the system running at 800 MHz unless there are glitches on data.
