Ten,

You're talking about the performance impact of an inadequate amount of DRAM. I was talking about effective bandwidth-per-channel. RDRAM and DDR SDRAM have
similar sustained bandwidth-per-channel.

A Ferrari driving on a freeway in rush hour goes no faster than a Pinto. This is analagous to a server with too little DRAM, which has to frequently access the disk.

If you can't put enough DRDRAM on your server to prevent bottlenecks, the potential per-channel bandwidth is meaningless.

Ten,

It seems to me that it would not be too difficult to design a rambus memory controller for servers that allows low latency high bandwidth access to sets of Rims.

Perhaps, RAMBUS is already working on a server memory control chip set.

:)
