Technology Stocks : Rambus (RMBS) - Eagle or Penguin -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

KZNerd, John, do you think that it might be possible to have a Rambus system with 2 slots that works fine for 6 years and then someone pulls out one of the RIMMs and replaces it with a 1GByte RIMM made with 0.1u technology and then the system fails? How many 6 year old systems get upgraded? More seriously, though, the hypothetical fault mechanism that I was discussing was one where the position of the chips on the RIMM affected whether the fault occurred, not whether they were 1 Gbyte or not. I am very confident that even if such a fault exists now, it will not do so for much longer. Also, once the problems had been discovered, the much more exhaustive testing that has now been taking place would probably have exposed them by now if they affected slots one or two. I am sure we would have heard if there was any more bad news. John
