Hi Scumbria; Re the hiring of engineers with RDRAM experience... As you know, RDRAM is, like DDR, a technology where the clocks follow the data around. For that reason, it is a bit out of the usual design engineer's fully synchronous state machine design tool box. So there is a reason to hire people with RDRAM skill, they would also be the people who you would want for a lot of DDR stuff. (PLLs on the clocks, for instance.) But I think that the fact is that AMD announced that they would support RDRAM quite some time ago. I think it is a matter of covering all the bases, they really can't let Intel lock them out of the chip market by somehow forcing the memory industry over to RDRAM, though that does not appear to be happening to me. -- Carl
