A regurgitation (probably of a Rambus press release) in Purchasing magazine...

Purchasing, May 18, 2000 v128 i8 p117

More than 50 different computer systems from Dell, Compaq and IBM that use Rambus dram are shipping, according to Rambus Inc.

While most computers use synchronous DRAM, a growing number of high-performance machines are using rdram. Rambus-based PC systems debuted last Fall.

PC companies will use rdram to eliminate memory bottlenecks that would negatively impact system efficiency.

rdram have data rate transfers of up to 800 MHz and enable a single Rambus channel to achieve up to 1.6 gigabytes per second.

"The performance, scalability and stability offered by Rambus technology enables Intel and other leading system manufacturers to escalate processor performance beyond current levels," says Avo Kanadjian vice president, worldwide marketing. Systems powered by processors operating at one gigahertz and beyond will increasingly rely on Rambus technology to achieve unmatched levels of performance,'' he says.

You know, when I first read that, I really thought it was a spoof. I mean, who in their right mind would write something like that - as though one's "aversion" to a company is of any import. But it appears that he did write it and, now, what we all suspected has been confirmed.

Dave, I was under the impression that Tom is a "failed physician", and thus his motto should be "do no harm", not wish for the disappearance of a technology. He is quite a morbid character, maybe he should have his gall bladder taken out, he is too bitter. (VBG).

Dave,

Tom bias is based on price/performance. I think that is very clear.
