What do you do if DDR turns into a Fiasco for AMD? What do you do if the entire Rambus management team turns out to be space aliens from Siru Minor and they get called home because the ROI on their trip to earth sucked? ---At least Paul makes his FUD posts interesting by using creative capitalization.

Jim, I am wondering when we will get to see two DDR platforms. It's amazing that you have enough brain power to do any wondering, at all. If you are not ignorant, you are purposely spreading disinformation, as it is general knowledge that the entire memory industry is lining up to support DDR. Pravin.

Jim, You are somewhat confused. Unlike their major competitor, AMD is in no way tied to any particular type of memory. No CPU needs high bandwidth memory right now, and AMD has wisely chosen to go with the most cost efficient path. If DDR turns out to be as cheap as SDRAM, then AMD products will transition over to DDR. Scumbria

What do you do if DDR turns into a Fiasco for AMD? It won't. If RDRAM technology proves in the long run to be better then DDRDRAM then AMD will use RDRAM or any other memory technology that works. AMD isn't tied into a particular type of RAM. Any mistakes AMD might make in this area might set AMD back a bit but only for a few months and it would not be a fiasco. Tim
