Randy: Higher densities are more profitable, IMO / IMLE, as long as you can preserve yields.... I think there is posturing going on here. See Toshiba white paper, which BTW is the only believable & understandable read this amateur has found on issues of granularity, bus utilization, and density: toshiba.com A key part of the paper is the granularity section, right after Table 6: <<However, PC main memory system manufacturers utilize the lowest cost per bit DRAM solution, and that solution will be the 256M density (regardless of SDRAM, DDR or RDRAM) in the not-too-distant future. Within the next few years, 512M and 1Gb DRAMs will be in volume production from Toshiba and possibly other suppliers, making low-density, higher performance low-cost SDRAM/DDR solutions even less feasible.>> Reference your question, "...resume Rdram production when P4/PIV is launched. P4 processor speeds are going to be what mHz?" theregister.co.uk BP
