Re: AAAAhhhhhahaahah !!! We'll see. I still have faith in our legal system which is ultimately based upon common sense equity. Of course, it sometimes misses its mark! Dan PS - He who laughs last....

I can't remember if this made it on to the thread last week or not: Net processor makers race toward 10-Gbit/s goal eoenabled.com <<By Linley Gwennap EE Times (06/19/00, 11:09 a.m. EST) SAN JOSE, Calif. ? With several network processors emerging to handle OC-48 bandwidth, chip makers are turning their sights on OC-192 traffic, which pours in data at up to 10 Gbits/second. The first chips at this level will likely ship late next year, in time for widespread deployment of OC-192 fibers.....By this rule of thumb, a full-duplex OC-192 processor should sustain at least 5 Gbytes/s (40 Gbits/s) to DRAM. Because double-data-rate SDRAM is less efficient than standard SDRAM, even a 256-bit-wide DDR memory at 266 MHz would not reach this level. Not only would such a wide interface require more than 500 pins, it would be difficult to support less than 256 Mbits using standard dual in-line memory modules....Thus, most OC-192 processors are likely to move to Rambus. Four 800-MHz RDRAM channels can sustain 5 Gbytes/s using only about 200 pins, making it possible to use as little as 64 Mbits of memory. Other emerging DRAM technologies, such as FCRAM, may also be used.
