KZ,

Fortunately Intel has not decided to provide the Hard Disk industry with a "solution" like they decided to do for the dram industry.

The memory industry tried to get Intel to support their standard and failed. Apparently Intel didn't feel their solution was the best choice for the long term. Eventually, the SLDRAM consortium folded. Possibly the hard drive industry has smarter engineers and Intel trusts them more. On the other hand, Intel doesn't support every HD interface advance that gets proposed either.

Hi KZNerd; What exactly does the following mean:

Dell said it continues to make PCs and workstations using existing, SDRAM chips in place of the newer chips. "We still believe this is going to be a platform that will enable computer environments moving forward," Mr. Weisblatt said.

Do you suppose this means that Rambus isn't necessarily required to get high performance systems?
