KZ,

Sorry, Merced was designed for Sdram due to large memory and RAS. Just like every other large server except for the ones with 21364.

Sorry, I got that right from someone at Intel. Merced was originally scheduled for release in 1998. There was no such thing as RDRAM available then -- SDRAM was the only choice.

We'll know for sure when details for the follow-on versions are announced.

Dave

SDRAM is better for RAS because ECC can "cover for" any one bad chip with SDRAM? Also chipkill is implementable with SDRAM but not RDRAM?

Thanks,

Tony
