Hi Jozef Halada; I found this old article about Rambus and Intel sort of worth reposting to the thread: Intel gambles on a sure DRAM thing Mar 31, 1997 Even if it fails to force Direct Rambus DRAMs on the PC industry, Intel will get what it needs: the cheap, very-high-bandwidth DRAMs required to deliver compelling and affordable multimedia experience. ... Intel's strategy will fail only if the major DRAM vendors act together to prevent Direct RDRAMs from coming to market at a competitive price while failing to offer a high-bandwidth alternative. That won't happen, because some of the major players are motivated by preferential licensing terms to make Direct RDRAMs a success. by Steve Przybylski techweb.com It sure looks to me like the Intel found a way to fail. -- Carl P.S. I hope that Via does a better job with their DDR chipsets, but I guess that other companies are working on competing sets anyway...
