Carl thanks for the info. I sure did miss that. At least once per week I go to the SPECS section of a Nintendo link form AOL an they continue to show the system memory as I had posted. No different for months. I did know that MoSys got the win on the graphics. Last info I had was this email: Subject: Re: nintendo dolphin Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 18:47:47 EDT From: Mips36xxxxx To: rsurckla@xxxxx Hi, No word on whether or not Nintendo will be using Rambus Ram for the Dolphin. It would not surprise me if they did use Rambus Ram for the Dolphin as they did use it for the N64 and have a good relationship with the company. I do know that MoSys 1T-SRAM will be embedded into the ArtX graphics chip.

Note the word "presumably" that this article from EETimes uses. All the NEC guy said was "an application specific memory". The bit about DDR was an EETimes comment. EETimes does not like Intel and I do not consider them to be a reliable source. I have seen no information as to whether Rambus will or will not appear in the Dolphin. I haven't seen any proof that it won't be. Please let me know if you have any. The DRAM will be "an application-specific memory" with a data transfer rate of 3.2 Gbytes/ second-presumably, based on the emerging DDR II specification-and dedicated for use in Dolphin, said Keiichi Shimakura, associate senior vice president of NEC. techweb.com from your post: Message 12033360
