Dan3 - <The EV6 platform with its use of DDR buses is what will provide Athlon the advantage it needs to move into the enterprise.> When is this? PB

AlibiDan - Re: "The DDR bus Athlon uses has been proven by years of experience running multiprocessor Alpha systems. " Are you saying Multiprocessor Alpha systems have used DDR Memory for YEARS ? Are you REALLY saying this ?? Paul

Dan, Another forward step in the progress of DDR Drams. This is a brief article from Electronic engineering, on the same subject that was posted earlier by Ted - www4.techstocks.com IBM launches DDR devoted Website electronicnews.com ________ Oct 25, 1999 --- IBM today launched a Web site dedicated to the development of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory products and systems. The site will provide technical information and memory module design files to chip, module and system designers developing DDR products and systems. IBM hopes the site will facilitate the rapid adoption of DDR SDRAM as a new memory standard. The Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council (JEDEC) defined and standardized DDR memory consistent with PC100 and PC133 SDRAM, both of which are currently in use. DDR must compete with Rambus DRAM technology for space on the next-generation memory mantel. Rambus has the backing of Intel Corp., a major advantage given Intel's market presence. Meanwhile, DDR has a manufacturing advantage. DDR does not require a significant development or manufacturing investment and maintains a cost structure consistent with SDRAMs, making for an easy transition. JEDEC has already standardized device speed grades of PC200 and PC266, permitting the production of 184 pin DIMMs that offer peak bandwidths of 1.6GB per second and 2.1GB per second respectively. Online registration for access to the 184 pin DDR registered DIMM Web site is available at: chips.ibm.com electronicnews.com _________________________ Regards, Goutama
