Paul, <How many people do you know have a PC (not a workstation) with 128 MegaBytes of memory> I think most high-performance PCs (not a workstation) are sold with 128 MB of DRAM these days. These are the PCs which are key to RDRAM's widespread penetration. But I'm not too worried about the 2 RIMM interim solution, except for the fact that it provides the anti-Rambus coalition with yet another piece of FUD. Tenchusatsu

Paul, re:<How many people do you know have a PC (not a workstation) with 128 MegaBytes of memory> Probably one third the people posting on this thread (myself for sure) and MOST of the people using Windows NT. <How many people do you know have a PC (not a workstation) with 256 MegaBytes of memory> That will be the limit for quite some time on i820 computers since no one has 256M RIMM's yet. You sound like IBM saying "no one will ever need more than 640K of RAM." How many graphics boards 2 years ago had more than 8M of memory? Today many have 32M. Are you sure you still don't work for Intel? Petz
