Re "Any informed everyday pc user is not likely pay extra for RDRAM. IMVHO would you? why?" In most cases this is true. I wouldn't pay the extra right now. Same as I didn't buy a cellphone when they were œ1000 (about $1600). Same as I didn't buy a vcr at similar prices. Same as I haven't bought a 1 Ghz P3 (yet). When new products are intro'd, they are priced high. Early adopters soak up the initial shipments - giving the producers a nice profit margin at the beginning of the product cycle. Then, as production ramps and new suppliers step in, prices come down. As we are now seeing. I wouldn't buy RDRAM for my PC at half the current price. But at a tenth I would, and so would many, many others. What about when processor/motherboard compatibility demand that you buy RDRAM? Would you buy it then?
