Damn! This sounds exactly like the Bilow/Walliker et al discussion. I guess we know who won. Rambus: Never lacking drama!

Don, There is at least one problem with that article: The quickest way to solve the timing problem with three RIMM slots, sources said, is to shorten the memory bus line, now 10 cm long. Industry sources now believe Intel is doing exactly that. But if Intel cannot design a workaround as expected, than existing boards will have to be scrapped pending a redesign. The signal path in EACH RIMM is at least 8cm long, based on the shortest possible route between the contacts. This means that the 3-slot memory bus is likely to be at least 28 cm long, perhaps a little more. What else is wrong with that article? John
