chic... You little devil you. You told me you were shorting Rambus but you didn't say you had an investment in AMD. I'm going to have to remember that. Also, Believe what Watzman tells you. Heed his words. PS. Your shorted Rambus at 81$. Did you cover or are you going for more? Just curious.

<< There isn't going to be quantity of DRDRAM around next year, so these benchmarks don't make one bit of difference to me even if true. >> If the benchmarks are true, everyone would want RDRRAM and it'd be around real fast. I don't have a lot of faith in them either, because they are in general too extreme all around. (way to low in the bad parts and way too high in the good parts) but you never know. Either way, if Rambus offers significant performance gains it will likely win out in the end. If it turns out to be the best technology, I hope it does win. AMD will have rambus chipsets if it needs them. If it doesn't offer anything over ddr even with the enhanced p4 bus then it will probably die the slow death that it would deserve.
