Re: jim kelley's lies, "DDR is at least $2 bucks per megabyte" More lies. Please show me where in Hyundai's press release where it says this (I tried finding it on their site, but it broke while navigating). Also who the hell is Hyundai? Don't they make cars or something? Comedy aside, they're hardly a large memory supplier. As is general knowledge, DDR SDRAM will only be marginally more expensive than current SDRAM (due to it being produced through virtually the same process), likely around 5% more at start, and eventually about the same price as production grows. Re: So from Ali we get no significant performance improvement for a lot more bucks. Plus the royalty rate is higher. I say go for it! Funny how when in regard to Rambus it's supposed to be worth paying twice as much for no performance boost, now when in regard to DDR you turn it exactly opposite. And unlike RDRAM, DDR actually does provide a significant performance boost (and for virtually no more cost, not "a lot more bucks"). If you don't believe 14% better Quake scores is significant, you're out of touch with today's users (I play Unreal Tournament, I know). As for royalty rates being higher, funny I must have missed the press release where Hyundai signed on to pay Rambus royalties. Could you kindly refresh my memory and provide a link to that one, perhaps? Or perhaps not... This denial of reality is simply getting ridiculous. Oh well it'll just be all the harder RMBS falls as the longs finally come to grips... Henry nts.dyndns.org
