Tenchusatsu, Re: (810) disliked by whom? primarily motherboard makers, hardware "enthusiasts" and hardware sites. My personal problem with it is the limited graphics capabilities (not even 3D, but 2D). It makes the systems built using this chipsed unsuitable for resolutions 1280x1024 and up. You can in fact go all the way to 1600x1200 with the chip, but you are going to be limited to lower number of colors and unacceptable refresh rates. 810 works very well up to 1024x768, and I would not hesitate to recommend for it if that's all you want (for a low end business computer, mainly based on the fact that the 810 solution is cheap.

Tench: Found this Infineon Data Book for RMBS at the 'eoenabled' web site. Looks to be dated from Feb 2000. Interesting, considering Infineon's recent bashing of the Bus. 93 pages, .pdf file. eoenabled.com The most interesting introductory clip: <<...The architecture of the Direct RDRAMs allows the HIGHEST sustainable bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous, randomly addressed memory transactions...>> (my emphasis) Thats about at the limit of my chip engineering skills :) BP
