Yo_Gene Parrott.............I think if purchased on a fixed price contract these prises at wholesale/large quantities would be at least 40% less than MSRP.

Re: 256MB RDRAM = $2171.00?

Now don't get all upset guys, but just as a reality check:

thechipmerchant.com
Shows registered PC100 ECC SDRAM 256Meg DIMMs at $524 or $450 if you want to buy 2 128 meg PC133 DIMMs ($224 each)

Meanwhile PC133 support from VIA for Athlon looks to be here by the end of the year and PC133 support for Coppermine from Intel (using the 815 chipset) may also be here by January - or earlier. January should also bring DDR 266 support from VIA and Intel will be supporting DDR a few months after that.

Rambus may still be OK, but its use in PCs may also be pretty much ancient history by the end of the coming year.
