Re ECC and RDRAMs. I noticed one technical article that said that motherboards that had only two RIMM modules and used ECC were going to be okay. This sounds like they are getting random errors, and the ECC is catching them. When I read that, I got the willies, having to accept a constant stream of corrected errors from your memory is not going to make the people who want bullet proof computers very happy. Mother nature is a nasty lady, and, like you say, a bad line is going to be very hard to correct. What this is all doing, is making the box makers think twice about supporting RDRAM. If they have to accept a lower yield rate, or, worse yet, a higher return rate, they are going to have to give up on Rambus. The PC clone market is just too competitive to allow that kind of expenditure. -- Carl
