Carl, <But since a computer has a lot more memory chips than memory controllers, the added pins in the memory chips dominate the added pins in the controller.> Yeah, but even though the total number of pins on a RIMM is higher than that on a DIMM, each RDRAM sits on the same channel. That's why the channel is much narrower, and that's what really counts. In contrast, each SDRAM device constitutes a separate part of the channel, so when you add things up, the channel is wider and tougher to route. <Do try looking up the figures before you suggest I like to distort things.> I already did look up the figures, thank you very much.
