My argument, though, stems from the notion that one RDRAM channel is "just a teensy bit too little" for 840-based high-end workstations and low-end servers. Therefore, if the system is going to have Rambus anyway, it's a small jump from one channel to two.

As a practical matter, the real reason to have two Rambus channels is an increase in the max memory capacity, not the bandwidth. But the bandwidth is what gets advertised.
