Gene, I had read that journalistisc opinion on RMBS.

Here is an opinion from those in the business that was released this morning:

Rambus Inc. Announces Five RDRAM Suppliers in Volume Production

Hyundai and Infineon Pass Validation Tests, Joining Samsung, Toshiba and NEC in Volume Production

Micron next. Hitachi will probably not be allowed to join in. With the drop in DRAM, they will all want to be producing the RAM that is in demand and is bringing in the profits - RDRAM.

Good spot. Did you see this comment that was attached to the article:

50% price difference my eye.

pricewatch.com

64MB RDRAM Module : $309

64MB PC133 SDRAM : $30

And thats the cheapest RDRAM too, god forbid if you try to compare to an 800MHz ECC module.

RDRAM is screwed. It's stuck to a niche player. Only thing thats gonna use RDRAM is Console machines like the PlayStation 2 and N64.

Of course there is Dell, but they'll use it cause they have they're brownosing a certain corporate giant who's futile effort to try to fully control the market and maintain a monopoly has backfired... *COUGH COUGH* INTEL. ; )
