Hi all; More great press for Rambus: AMD and Intel fight it out It's not just the arrival of chips which match -- or out-perform -- the Pentium III; and it's not just the total unavailability of Pentium III gigahertz processors, and it's not just the continuing farce of Rambus; what's now in question is the very basis of Intel technology. Because logically, what AMD is doing shouldn't be possible. ... And in particular, this is not the time to buy Rambus based PCs. ... And in the same way, I was writing nonsense, twenty years ago, about how RAM was about to replace hard disks. And so it did; so it did. After all, a hard disk in the early days of the PC had only five megabytes of storage in it. Nobody would try writing software for a PC with only five meg of RAM today; you assume 128 meg. What I didn't know (and neither did Seagate) was that there would be sailing-ship breakthroughs in hard disks, giving 20 gigabyte storage units that were actually smaller than a 128K floppy drive. Similarly, Intel decided to back Rambus because it seemed, at the time, as if ordinary SDRAM would never match Rambus speeds. But they did. anchordesk.co.uk -- Carl
