Ten I believe that DDR will be confined to use in graphics cards and perhaps servers. The lack of a true manufacturing specifications for DIMMs and motherboards is very telling. Basically, DDR will be confined to a niche market. INTEL publishes its manufacturing specifications for RDRAM RIMMS and Motherboards. Try to find any specifications for DDR from Micron, Via, or AMD. NADA :)

Tench you are correct. There is no clear winner, however if DDR performs better or even the same(hard to believe) and DDR cost 50% less to make than RDRAM. Then you know where that will take every Mem Maker. Milo

Found this on the FOOLS may have been posted here, but I have many bears on my ignore list. Can someone please explain/comment. TIA "The bus isn't getting the requisite 1.21 jiggawatts of power needed to operate,"said Doc Brown, Rambus's wild-eyed chief engineer. "The bus must reach 88GHz in order to achieve its peak performance level, allowing it to instantly surpass other ram made in the past, landing the RDDRAM squarely in the future,"said the exciteable Brown. Brown is doubtful that Rambus will find a way to supply the RDDRAM its requisite power, explaining, "We'd have to somehow channel a lightning bolt and send the 1.21 jiggawatts straight to the PC's power supply at the exact moment the frontside bus hits 88GHz." Brown's assistant, ayoung man wearing what appeared to be a lifejacket, described the bus problem as "heavy".
