The large DRAM memory producers are in Korea, Japan and the US not Taiwan.<LOL> Looks like DDR is dead before arrival.

The RAMBUS patents appear to cover DDR if it ever becomes a real force in DRAM. So RAMBUS will get paid one way or the other. Ain't it just terrible?

I certainly do not use any of those geforce graphics cards.
The volume of RDRAM sold to date is not as important as the the volume that will be sold this year and next. The plain fact is that the major memory suppliers are ramping production to meet the demand. Prices are dropping as supply increases and all the major PC companies are selling PC's with RDRAM.

I guess that sticks a fork into your FUD.

KeepItSimple,

Instead of using their ethernet-like data bus found in pc configurations, they connected the chips directly to the cpu of the playstation via 1/4 inch traces.

What is ethernet-like about Rambus? I can see very little similarity.

Suggesting that they used 1/4" traces is nonsense. The chip dimensions would prevent that.
