Doug, even if rambus has some performance advantages, the simple fact that rambus can't be used in commercial server situations and a lot of high end business because of memory limitations, which I believe is 768 meg. . Thus the expensive rambus will have to sell in the cheaper desktop section and achieve critical mass there. I consider this unlikely barring a huge performance difference.
