Joe, I wonder why nobody uses this anymore in special cases, and instead, RDRAM is used, which doesn't really outperform SDRAM by much. I don't think there is any reason to assume that RDRAM will outperform SDRAM on most benchmarks in an apples-to-apples comparison. Tom's benchmarks indicated quite the contrary. Scumbria

Re: "That reminds me, long time ago when Dell Computer used to be called PC Limited, they sold this computer with SRAM instead of DRAM. Ithad only about 1 MB of memory, but it was faster than the competition using the same processor. I wonder why nobody uses this anymore in special cases, and instead, RDRAM is used, which doesn't really outperform SDRAM by much." At .13um, I think they will do 64MB SRAM with a 6T cell size of a little over 2um2. I wonder if it would be possible. THE WATSONYOUTH
