Jim, If 55% of the Desktop market is RDRAM and 8% is DDR, it is likely that the RDRAM will be cheaper per module unit than the DDR due to economies of scale. Let's check back in about a year, and see how this plays out. The rational failure here is in selecting isolated facts to support a predetermined opinion. Exactly. Scumbria

Jim Kelley, re: <In short your arguments are specious before they fail to take into account all of the facts currently known...> One of the known facts is that Intel's new chip sets for value and performance PC's are SDRAM based. (810/810E/815). And while the 820 for high end PC's supports both RDRAM and SDRAM, it is being redesigned to improve SDRAM performance and is planned for re-intro in the second half. The 815 appears to be the replacement for the 440 series. Based on your arguments one has to ask the question, "Why is Intel bringing out all these SDRAM chip sets?" (And recognize Tehama/Willamette is a high end niche category for some time). JMHO's
