BILOW told us that RDRAM wasn't gone to get the designs.

Hi John, 1. How do you define a "workstation"? A PC with DRDRAM installed? Any PC with an 840 chip set? 2. Game Boxes, this I will give you. You will need them. Add them to the Compaq Pirana machine and you'll have enough sales to keep one Fab busy for a year. But the G Box is the only application for your soldering iron that I have seen so far. 3. OC-192? This one I am not prepared to relinquish to DRDRAM. I will await word from Carl and Cypress before I let you pry this one from my talons. 4. And as to your "Compaq supercomputers", I notice you used the plural. Do you think there will be more than one? The PDF file said it's "low latency" operation requires 90 sec.'s to clear a cache line on random access x (how many memory subsets?) x (Random Access demands of the application?) to clear a cache line on random access. Not to mention a whopping 1 to 2 Mb cache for each of its DRDRAM units. ...Sounds like LANL knows how to lose money as well as Hard Drives. :8) But whether you add it up or slice it and dice it, your quasi list still comes out smelling like "niche" when compared to the rest of the DRAM market. 0\|0
