Jeff,

Meanwhile the great RD ram advantage of low pin count will stick forever. Why is this critical? How about the one chip PC
where every pin is critical? Thinks about workstations with FOUR separate RD ram channels. Try either of these with
SDRAM of equivalent speed and compare cost in a 2002+ environment. I think you'll see that RD ram will cross over and
become the lowest cost solution for any system of reasonable performance.


All good points. You're probably right.

The only thing is that I had read some articles from Intel engineers a couple of years ago in which they were talking about all the right stuff (impedance control, line width control, stubs, reflections, termination methods, etc. at 700 MHz or something). Then the Rambus horror shows hit...

Hopefully, it all gets sorted out, like 50 MHz did!
