Is RMBS really bid at 388 pre market or is Datek's Streamer shafted again? Edit - I think it is the latter cos it is showing MSFT bid at $115 !!

John W., <Do you really expect us to believe that because "RDRAM is generally available in ECC form" this "essentially proves" that it is inherently less reliable than SDRAM?> Carl is just spewing more of his anti-Rambus FUD, and this is evidence that he is really reaching. No engineer would ever try and mask reliability issues with ECC. The fact that most RDRAM is sold with ECC does NOT mean that RDRAM is inherently less stable than SDRAM. It just means that RDRAM is mainly being sold into high-end markets. These high-end markets also demand reliability in the form of ECC. Without RDRAM, they'd be buying ECC SDRAM instead. I'll bet most DDR SDRAM that is sold this year will be the ECC variety, mainly because servers will be snatching up most of the DDR. Does that mean DDR SDRAM is inherently less reliable than regular SDRAM? No freakin' way. Tenchusatsu
