Dave, Those of us with long memories, though, will recall that the price of every new DRAM has been high at the initial introduction of the Intel chipset that supports it, including the PC-100, 66MHz SDRAM, and even EDO. When SDRAM hit the market, the price premium over EDO was less than 15%. Scumbria

Great post Dave, This has been said many before by others on this thread and elsewhere. Comparing DDR to RDRAM makes no sense unless you are comparing a 2 or 3 chip RDRAM system with a complete DDR system. INTC packaged the Pentium on a PC card to reduce quality problems associated with having a lot of OEM's building their own motherboards with varying degrees of quality. The packaging of the RDRAM clearly improves the consistency and quality of the systems produced by OEMS. JK
