Hi Steve Lee; Rambus is not an application specific memory, it is a general memory. This is a term well understood in the industry. The reason for the "presumably" is that the implication of an application specific, high bandwidth memory for late 2000 is the use of DDR-II, as that is what is winning current designs. See EE-Times for reports on the progress of this technology. The next Nintendo isn't going to use Rambus. If it were, they, or Rambus, would say so. I mean really. Does anyone here remember the story about the kid who ended up with a Christmas stocking full of horse feces? His reaction was glee, he just knew that he was going to get a pony. Sometimes I think that they polyannas around here are that far gone. Application specific means for a particular use. Rambus is a technology for general memory use, it is not application specific. Go look on the Nintendo web site, they imply the same there. -- Carl
