Geez Tom, Don't pull any punches, just tell it the way you see it: tomshardware.com "My regular readers know that I've already said a lot about this, but I hope they won't mind that I will repeat myself. All of us performance-hungry PC-users that loved Intel's BX-chipset for all of its qualities felt very deserted when Intel left the 'right path' and started to shove RDRAM-platforms up our tail end. Besides the fact that RDRAM-platforms never lived up to the claims of Intel and Rambus, besides the fact that i820/i840 have a history of failures and disappointments, and besides the fact that the educated PC enthusiast feels at least annoyed if not disgusted by all the hype that Rambus is trying to spread, so besides all of that, Rambus memory is even super expensive, blowing up your system costs significantly. It feels as if you're being 'pre-punished' for making the wrong choice. Maybe it could be seen as a warning as well, saying "Well, we made RDRAM unreasonably expensive, so be aware that you will have been had if you should be crazy enough to buy it!"

Very eloquent Carl, I suppose you have not seen the list of RDRAM OEM products from the major PC companies in Europe, America, and Taiwan. I guess they do not know that RAMBUS is dead and when they find out there will be a huge international funeral. <LOL> The list just keeps getting longer. Looks like revenues for RAMBUS will be very strong! Acer AcerPower 8600? Alert Micro Systems, IncV820 Compaq AP240? Compaq AP250? Compaq AP550? Compaq SP750? Compaq Deskpro?
