Re: There are serious problems with DDR as main memory... Jim, Do you actually believe this crap you post day in and day out? I find it hard to believe you could be this out of touch with reality. chic

Hi jim kelley; Re the remarkably silly Yahoo article you posted this time. I really am amazed that you have the time to read that filth, and then look at the crap you bring back to share with us. Earth to Jim! Earth to Jim! Did I hear a rumor that Nvidia had to recall those millions of DDR based graphics cards they shipped to happy game players? Nope? Maybe the press release is getting written by gnome like DDR losers, lost in the bowels of Nvidia... -- Carl

Hi jim kelley; Back a year ago, you copied a post from PTNewell on the Yahoo thread: There are serious problems with DDR as main memory... messages.yahoo.com "DDR-200 may or may not be practical in a PC. The DDR noise problem is not a fiction of Intel, it is fundamental physics. Specifically, Faraday's Law, one of Maxwell's equations, tells us that the inductive currents (noise) generated is proportional to the voltage swing. RDRAM uses voltage steps of 0.4 volts at a time; DDR uses 2.5 volts/step. This is why RDRAM can run faster and yet be cleaner. DDR-266 is quite improbable in a PC setting. Unfortunately for DDR, basic physics cannot be finessed." Much of the potential useful lifespan of DDR will be consumed before any platforms with serious volume potential are produced if they are ever produced. #reply-14262474 Now there have been millions of DDR-266 motherboards produced and sold, and the new chipsets being announced are moving on to DDR-333. In addition, most of the major memory makers have working prototypes for DDR2. Any comment on how ptnewell screwed up when he made that argument using "basic physics"? Did listening to ptnewell make you money over these past 12 months? What do you suppose his current posts will look like a year from now? Do you think it's wise to listen to what he says? -- Carl
