double termination In a presentation I saw by Rambus, the unterminated line was one of the features that increased it's speed. They actually use the reflected signal to boost the gain at the detection sensor (it is timed by the length of the trace to reflect upon itself just at the right spot). The main way they increase speed is by reducing the actual current that has to be charged into the lines and then drained away to ground before the next cycle can begin. Double termination would eliminate this advantage. TP
