Hi mishedlo; Re DramReview's DDR vs RDRAM product counts: dramreview.com You noted that this list (at that time) was a month out of date. They have since updated it, adding, a few RDRAM systems, but they left off the following three DDR systems: Absolute Outrageous GeForce 2 GTS: anandtech.com MS-Starforce GeForce 2 GTS: anandtech.com SUMA Platinum GeForce 2GTS 64MB: anandtech.com This gets the ratio of RDRAM to DDR systems down to 75 to 14 = 5.35, a new low. The DDR system count won't take off until VIA, ALi, Micron, and AMD start selling their chipsets for Intel and AMD processors. This will happen around the end of summer to the beginning of winter, though samples are going to be all over the press before then. The need for high speed memory systems is only now beginning to approach. That RDRAM was too early (i.e too fast for current processors) is made clear by the superior performance of the i815 with PC133 (CL2) over the i820 with PC800. Eventually higher speed processors will be standard, and DDR (and RDRAM) will be necessary. At that time, DDR will take the market from RDRAM because of its lower cost and higher performance (particularly latency). -- Carl
