"Will RMBS soar like an Eagle or be doomed to walk the ice floes like a Penguin?" Starting to look, sound & smell like a Penguin. Hey! is that a polar bear?!?!

gene, Jim, re:<I believe the page hit ratio of RDRAM has been shown to be 90+%...> With how many chips active? <g> No need to answer. I'll take a stab at it. Assuming a random cache miss pattern coming off a 256K L2, you would need to have about 1MB of open pages to get a cache hit rate of 90%. This would require about 1000 open 1024 byte banks. That is a lot of DRAM! Perhaps Jim got his number from video refresh statistics, which are all sequential. ;^))) Scumbria
