Thanks for the correction TV,

I must confess that whatever the "again" was predates my "lurking", but I can guess.

It appears to be a smart move for INTC. Whether its DRDRAM or DDR-II it appears that 400MHz is going to be the sweet spot for the future FSB.

I just wasn't sure that it might not also have been driven by something in the engineering. From what little I have heard of over clocking and CPU/FSB relative speeds, it occurred to me that with CPU speeds marching north of 1GHz at a rapid clip there might be problems matching faster CPU's to anything less than a 400MHz fsb bus.

Tony,

Let's not get into that again, but the data rate is 800 Mb/sec per line because it's double pumped.

Rambus PC-800 clock speed is 400 MHz double pumped (sort of like 800 MHz), 16 bits wide (or 2 bytes), resulting in maximum bandwidth of 1.6 GBs per channel.

Joe
