Ali, Let me try, in highly simplified terms: Actually, I was hoping for something that was NOT simplified with some detailed numbers to support the assertion. I don't see that in the link you quoted. What you say seems to contradict what Dell, Intel and Rambus claim. One extra cycle of latency is 1.25 or maybe 2.5ns. Why does the DRAM page have to be closed and then opened again at a latency of 5 to 12 bus clocks if it is momentarily not accessed. After all, Rambus is supposed to allow multiple pages to be open at once - they can't all be being accessed at the same time. John
