Currus, >How about some good news for a change? Looks like Intel is sucking it all in, stabbing RamBUST in the back again, and supporting DDR SDRAM with Willy, That is good news, thanks. I wouldn't call it stabbing in the back though. I think Intel has bent over backwards with the whole Rambus thing, while screwing up themselves a few times on it, I know. Why bet a 30 billion business on an unproven technology. Tony

Cirruslvr and Tony, re: Rambus/Willy My semi-worthless opinion and conjecture. When Intel first chose, and invested in Rambus years ago, they must have believed that the technology could become the industry standard. The support they have shown for Rambus has been more than adequate to this point, and it could be argued that it is what brought Rambus to their present position. I hope the report is true and that Intel will become agnostic with the memory it's processors and MB's support. It seems to me that Intel has done it's job, the incubator stage is over for Rambus, and they should let the market decide which memory format is the best. The issue has become polarized, and if Intel picks a side they risk losing business based on memory decisions and confusion. BWDIK, maybe there is a scalability to Rambus performance that makes today's sacrifice worthy of the future benefits. John
