"Right now, Intel has two apparently quite problematic chipsets in the 820 and 840 supporting Rambus" I am not aware of any such problems. What do you know? Thanks

Dan - a close reading of my post would show that I think the transition to something other than current SDRAM would happen in the next 12 to 18 months - this was really geared more to the notion that SDRAM has had lots of time for engineers to tweak the architectures to optimize performance... and that RDRAM would not necessarily be the winner. There is a lot of promise in RDRAM but the technology landscape is littered with good ideas that were too slowly developed or had poor first implementations, and were superceded by newer, better ideas before they ever got traction... that could happen here. I regard DDR as a next generation rather than just an incremental improvement on SDRAM. These double clocking schemes sometimes turn out to be a lot harder to implement than initial design thinking would suggest. But a PC266 DDR would certainly have some bandwidth capability...
