Technology Stocks : Rambus (RMBS) - Eagle or Penguin -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Hi TigerPaw; True, Rambus does save pins on the memory controller. To evaluate this line of thinking, we have to take a look at how many pins controllers have, and what the costs of adding pins to it is.

What my post above showed, is that Rambus does not save pins on the motherboard. You agree?

I assume so, now I will spend a few minutes generating some links and numbers for the cost of adding pins to a controller chip...

TP,

The key is not saving pins on the RIMM module, it's about saving pins on the memory controller.

One can see why they want to save pins on the controller - the 82840 comes in a 544 pin (balls to be pedantic) package.
