Thanks for the link, Rich, although I did have to navigate a little to get to the actual whitepaper. I'll just repost a couple of things mentioned in Toshiba's paper: 1) Bus utilization: Toshiba estimates 42% bus utilization for DDR SDRAM, and 74% for RDRAM. That leads to an effective bandwidth of 897 MB/sec for DDR, vs. 1190 MB/sec for RDRAM. 2) Here is a table of ideal DRAM solutions for each market, according to Toshiba: Application Timeframe Ideal DRAM solution ----------- --------- ------------------- Low-end Desktop PC 2000 PC100/PC133 2001 RDRAM High-end Desktop/ 2000 RDRAM Workstation PC Server 2000 PC100/PC133/DDR/RDRAM 2001 DDR/RDRAM/FCRAM High-end Server/ 2000 PC100/PC133/DDR Mainframe 2001 DDR/FCRAM Graphics 2000 SDRAM/DDR 2001 DDR/RDRAM Network Router/ 2000 FCRAM Switch Hand-held/PDA 2000 FCRAM Digital TV/Set-top 2000 SDRAM 2001 DDR/RDRAM (By the way, FCRAM is a new memory core that is currently being developed by Toshiba and Fujitsu. It promises to improve upon the basic DRAM core that is being used by everyone from PC100 to PC133 to DDR to RDRAM.) Tenchusatsu
