>>Where is the tornado heading? Can RDRAM be stopped, if so how?<< stopped? an item must start before it can be stopped. what will start rdram if intel, its single largest supporter has niched it into the high, high end market and nixed it from the BIG markets like servers and sub $1200 computers (does anybody even buy anything else???). >> If RMBS has a patent on DDRAM (prove to me that they do not)<< prove to you it doesn't? prove to me peewee herman can't beat michael jordan in basktball. you can't prove it, can you? see how silly and biased your approach is? i'm very confident that rdram will not reach critical mass to compete on a cost basis with ddr. why? it is stuck in the gamer, graphics and cad niches. yeah, so rdram ha a chance to dominate a whopping 3% of the market. katie, bar the door ;-) i'm not so confident in the sense of rmbs investors. they have more cents than sense. as to the rdram horror stories (5% yields, etc.), they are most likely overblown. however, have you priced it laley? is a 64 mb rdram module more costly than an entire computer? ddr is now collapsing again. $5 a 64 mb chip. is rdram less than 300% more expensive? oh, and performance increase? not much based on current apps.
