Hi all; Transmeta's Processor family, from the horse's mouth (Sorry, no RDRAM): TM3200 TM5400 Frequency Range 333-400MHz 500-700MHz L1 Cache 96KB 128KB L2 Cache 256KB Main Memory SDRAM (66 to 133MHz) DDR-SDRAM (100 to 166MHz) Upgrade Memory SDRAM (66 to 133MHz) North Bridge Integrated Integrated Package 474 BGA 474 BGA Sample Now Now Production Now Mid 2000 transmeta.com Anybody who wonders about Transmeta's feelings about DDR is welcome to click on this link and find out: w3.via.com.tw Transmeta picking up notebook design wins among the big companies (particularly one that is so closely tied to Rambus) is as significant as Nvidia (also a DDR house) picking up the big X-Box design win at Microsoft. -- Carl

Carl: You know that laptops are not, and have not recently been considered suitable applications for RDRAM, due to the heat spreading issue (or does this amateur need to give you an education?). Given your knowledge of memory, your post is despicably duplicitous: "So maybe Sony is rethinking the corporate dedication to RDRAM...If so, that would make the third major user of RDRAM to dump the technology: Nintendo, Intel, and now Sony." Please cut the crap. BP
