altavista.babelfish.com will probably do most of the translation for you. If that URL doesn't work, go to babelfish.com and then take the 'redirect' to the Alta Vista language translator. Good luck, Ian.

It may be in Spanish but the figure is a good illustration on how Rambus works. Even non-techies can check out enxebre.es Follow the blue Rambus channel from the controller (eg, Camino) onto the motherboard, onto the first RIMM, across the RIMM past all the Rdrams, back on to the motherboard, onto the 2nd RIMM, etc finally ending at the termination resistors at the far side of the last RIMM slot. This routing is done to avoid "stubs" which cause reflections. However, the lines get quite long this way. It seems, although it is not totally clear, that the Rambus problem is cured by cutting the blue Rambus channel between the 2nd and 3rd RIMM and moving the termination resistors to that spot, thus, shortening the lines.
