jim kelley, <If you have any evidence to present that RDRAM systems were experiencing high failure rates, you should present it. If you do not then you are simply acting out your biases and trying to harm a company and its prospects out of sheer animus.> As a matter of fact I do have some evidences. Unfortunately for you, I had no time nor opportunity to put those verbal evidences in written and, being duly sworn, subscribe them before a notary public with the witness. If you want less direct evidences, try to research the Dell web site, place real orders. You will find out a lot of strange things: some models will be refused to ship with 800MHz memory and a 700 MHz RIMMS will be offered instead, while other models can be shipped in few days with the same(?) 800MHz RIMMs with no questions. Some people were waiting for months to get a 800-grade memory in their machine, while others got other models with PC800 in a matter of days. Why? Apparently because only certain lucky combinations do work, and even then it may fail in the field on customer's real application. All this combined with news that i820 again has some problems with memory draws a pretty ugly picture that the RDRAM is not a toll highway to money but rather a bumpy unpaved road. Farewell!
