Scumbria, <What advantages do you see for DRDRAM over DDR on a motherboard?> - Lower pin count - Easier to route signals on motherboard - Cheaper packaging for memory controller - Easier to put two or more memory channels together - Smaller granularity - Better solution for modules w/ fewer than eight devices - Higher DRAM densities makes small granularity more useful - SDRAM devices needs larger packages and more pins per package to support smaller granularity. - Performance - RDRAM-800 likely to beat DDR-200 and match DDR-266 All of these advantages are debatable, though, so it's not like the DDR vs. RDRAM war will end anytime soon. There are advantages to supporting DDR in servers over RDRAM, too many for even Intel to ignore. But on the desktop, beyond PC133, RDRAM is looking to be the better technology over DDR. We shall see.
