Could be, Dan3, about the rambsectomy, but the funny thing about that is, the version 1 willy package, supposedly rambus based or bound or whatever, has 423 pins to in the first place. So if the big deal with rambus is supposed to be saving pins, how did it go from 370 to 423 to begin with? 53 pins here, 54 pins there there, pincount only matters when you're trying to shove expensive and fragile technology down everyone's throats.

Cheers, another Dan.

Re: "Could it be that a Willamette that has had an RDRAM-ectomy uses a few more pins now that it's talking to a 64 bit DDR memory bus instead of 2 16 bit memory busses?"

Woooooow. There has never been any talk of Willamette having an onboard RDRAM controller.
