Hi blake paterson; Yep, DDR doubles next year. It started at 100MHz (200MHz bit rates), and goes to 200MHz (400MHz bit rates) early next year. Then it hits 266MHz with 533MHz bit rates later next year. The 400MHz bit rate parts are already sampling, and graphics cards have been put in the hands of reviewers running at that rate. That's a double. Compare to RDRAM's sorry 33% improvement from 400MHz (800MHz bit rate) to 533MHz (1.06GHz bit rate) over the same time frame. -- Carl

Blake, re: <Vaporware upon vaporware upon vaporware...> Look's like Micron has intro'd development kit's for second tier accounts. MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC. INTRODUCES A NEW DESIGNER'S TOOL BOX AND ENABLEMENT KIT TO SUPPORT DDR SDRAM MEMORY TECHNOLOGY As part of the toolbox, Micron is also providing DDR SDRAM Enablement Kits and DDR product samples that system designers may use to develop and validate DDR SDRAM systems. Designers have their choice of DDR SDRAM component and module samples as well as a platform supporting either unbuffered or registered DDR SDRAM modules. Each of the DDR Enablement Kits includes a DDR SDRAM motherboard, an unbuffered or registered 128MB DIMM module, and support documentation. micron.com (Note you get a complete kit of parts, including motherboard and unbuffered or registered 128MB DIMM module's). And it seem's from the articles I've read, the tier one accounts have been designing DDR system's for desk tops for some time now. I expect to see a number of introductions at Fall Comdex. JMHO's
