I remain amazed by the assumption that DDR will enter the marketplace as a "plug and play" technology. I am a total nincompoop on technology issues, but I do not believe for one minute that this will be the case. The law of uninteded consequences has hit Rambus and Intel several times during development and rollout and the idea that DDR will simply appear in a bug-free, high-performance iteration does not wash with me. This is not graphics cards, it is PC main memory. A little different story. If DDR is in fact so simple to design, manufacture and install, why don't we already have DDR2 in production. It clearly has so many benefits and cost advantages the market and manufacturers should have escalated its rollout months and months ago. Like Thunderboid, there will be some delays, unexpected issues, and probably performance degrading solutions. The way of the world. BWDIK?
