Dan, re: PC166 All your arguments against Rambus are very incoherent, as well as all the alternatives you keep trotting out without any second thought whatsoever. You bring out PC133 as having lower latency, DDR having lower latency, PC166 having lower latency, VC having lower latency, and so on, and so forth, but there's no support for a unifying standard. You talk about the "superiority" of "Random Accesses" over "streaming accesses" without knowing what the hell you are talking about. (Rambus is better in both than anything, except perhaps VC.) You say that PC166 can work in PC100 motherboards, yet you don't realize that's a non-argument since you'll lose all the benefits of PC166 (what little there are) in such a combination. And you say that PC166 comes from the same binsplit/process as Rambus 800, and likewise about PC100 and Rambus 600, but you never gave any supporting evidence, nor did you realize how strange your statement sounded. I think you're trying WAY TOO HARD to come up with all sorts of arguments against Rambus. You better stick to the arguments that have some merit, such as Rambus being too hard, too much, too soon, or that PC133 and DDR taking advantage of low-hanging fruit, etc. Tenchusatsu
