Scumbria,

There is nothing preventing AMD from using DRDRAM if they see performance or price/performancec benefits. Apparently they don't see such benefits.

Either that or they don't think they're OEMs would get any supply. If Dell and Sony are taking most of the current supply of RIMMs, why would AMD want to bring out an RDRAM chipset now? They customers wouldn't be able to get any RDRAM to go with it. I'll be watching to see what happens when supply reaches "sufficient" levels (probably proxied by aftermarket prices).

Very good points. Samurai is coming soon with DDR support and SMP.

Not much downside and AMD's customers (OEM's) are not pushing AMD to support RDRAM.
