Sorry left out a piece of info.

In today's/tomorrows systems you will require around 3.7GB/s of memory bandwidth.
The 133 MHz DDR FSB equates to 2.1GB/s. The AGP 4X video card requires
1.06GB/s and a 64 Bit PCI bus running at 66MHz requires 528 MB/s.

Dohhh...that comes out to around 3.7GB/s...

Maz...

Re: At a certain point you run out of room to run traces... Here is the advantage RDRAM has over SDRAM.

OOPS!

So the board width (for traces) for the two technologies are as follows:

RDRAM: 26*40mils + 2*24mils + 1*12mils + 4*34mils = 1.236 inches
SDRAM: 14*18mils + 77*12mils = 1.176 inches

By the way Richard, you never did respond about where you expect Rambus to be by this fall: 20 times earnings ($3.20) or as high as 50 times earnings ($8.00).
