RE: <I know that there are several reasons for going with RCC's server chipset, but are you sure that the rejection of the RDRAM repeater hub is one of the primary reasons? If anything, it could have been just a side issue. I think the main reason why RCC's chipset is being used is that it covers gaps in Intel's server chipset roadmap. The fact that RCC uses SDRAM (over RDRAM) isn't relevant.> Yes, you are right, there are several reasons. But I've always seen "large memory" listed near the top. Close by is RAS. Also near top is dram cost since servers use so much dram. I'm not sure about the gaps in Intel's server chipset roadmap and defer to you on that. There is a way that I can see Rambus getting back into servers. That is with the Alpha 21364 which uses four Rambus channels per CPU in a massively parallel grid of processors. Maybe we could talk about that sometime. (But don't tell Unclewest, he'd go wild!)
