Ten, That's why RDRAM (and DDR SDRAM) isn't necessary for large-scale servers yet. Such servers create memory bandwidth the old-fashioned way: they brute-force it. With DDR, you can get the same bandwidth, using half as many pins as PC66. Scumbria

Tench, thanks for the info. It makes a lot of sense. But I have to say, this whole memory issue is confusing as hell to me. Seem's though, that plain vanilla SDRAM will have major market share a lot longer than many people think. (Even in desk tops). But JMHO.

Ten, re: <<Gelsinger is a little off...probably said Itanium needed PC100 because product qualification is probably being done only w/ PC100 modules.>> I think that it was likely Robertson's mistake. Note he did not QUOTE Gelsinger on this point. He was likely putting words in the interviewees mouth, as usual: ""Gelsinger confirmed that the Itanium will not offer support for Direct Rambus memory, but instead will run only with single-data-rate SDRAM-and 100-MHz PC100 SDRAM at that."" Reminds me of the old adage: "..its always easier to tell the truth because then you don't have to remember all of your lies.." Just my speculation, BP
