<But DDR266, at 1/2 to to 2/3 the cost of rambus and outperforming it will turn rambus into a curiosity for trivia games - remember the VESA bus?>

Yeah, I remember VESA. In fact, didn't it lose out to PCI, a standard pioneered by Intel?

Dan - Re: "remember the VESA bus?"

You use an interesting comparison. Intel chose the PCI bus over the VESA bus and it was history.

Intel also chose RDRAM over DDR 266. Could DDR 266 also be history?

Intel has extremely bright and capable engineers that make these technology choices. That is a major reason that Intel earns ~$2B per quarter.
