John, You are wrong. If you think that RMBS will be clearly unable to extract tens of millions from SDRAM manufacturers for something as basic an idea as storing read latency values on a register in the DRAM chip I have ho idea about the legal issues involved, so I won't comment. you are indeed very naive to believe that the PC600-PC800 RIMM's will be thrown away because faster ones will become available. That has been the norm. Fast page RAM to EDO Ram to SDRAM PC-66, 100, 133. If your new system accept the DIMM / RIMM of the same form factor / pinout, you will most likely totally cripple the performance of the new system, because in 3 years, you may well have PC-1600 RIMM. You can do the same today with plugging 2 DIMMs, one 3 year old PC-66 SDRAM and a new PC-133 CL2. You will have to set the timing of your system to that of the slowest component. Joe
