Re: "Perhaps the Rambus technology just doesn't have enough margin to allow testers which need their own guardbanding to over test enough to ensure the dut meets spec. Might have a fundamental problem here." I think you hit the nail on the head. Although there are testers out there that can issue data at 800MHz, do they have the accuracy to actually test the specs when guardbands are added? And even if they can (doubtful), can they do it in a production environment?(even more doubtful). I have some idea of Intel's approach and they do not rely on conventional means alone. Can't say more, NDA. EP
