PC133 SDRAM has some good performance characteristics too, suckla, according to Intel anyway. For the time being, with SDRAM you don't have the "Money for Nothing" problem, though I hear Rambus is working on that too. It's the Rambus Way, you know.

Cheers, Dan.

Richard,

I clearly believe that when our customers need it or demand it, we're going to be in a position to provide RDRAM based products. We have a license for the Rambus technology. I do believe, you know, it's got some good performance characteristics, but you're really trying to drive a price/performance equation of the market

Translation: The price performance tradeoff of DRDRAM stinks, but the last thing we want to do is piss off Rambus so they start another mindless litigation.

Richard - Re; DDR v Rambus

Currently, AMD has no chipset support for either DDR or Rambus. Even worse is that AMD is in the position of relying on Via, for now, for chipsets.

If AMD had the resources and skill to produce its own chipset it would be in a much better position. The Duralon and T-Bird might then have some presence in the market place--not just living as announced orphans.
