Joe, Do you know any other place that sells RDRAM cheaper? I don't know what the shop-bot sites are, but even your own Daniel Schuh posted that he found 128M RIMMs at $560 each. I would guess that the 256M RIMMs probably cost $800-$900 (a completely random guess). That would make your $3000 more like $1400, or half your estimate. No one is saying that we like these prices, and you shouldn't buy it if you're budget-conscious. We've always said that the first systems will be sold to people who need performance (as the PC World numbers have shown the PIII/820/RDRAM systems possess). As Dataquest said, however, Intel's 100% commitment to RDRAM will drive its price down until it's cheaper than SDRAM (their statement, not mine). In the meantime, you should continue to use SDRAM until the price of RDRAM comes down to a more reasonable level for you. If it never makes it there, then you haven't wasted anything. Dave
