Why RDRAM - RMBS - will dominate. Understand this is right brain thinking though.

BTW, it's a free app and I couldn't leave with out it. Download it (at quotetracker.com) and you will see what I mean. It taxes your system quite heavily and is very multithreaded and multitasking in nature. I run it all the time. And at the same time I run my IE 5.5 to chat, news, video, shop, bill payment etc.... While all this goes on, I listen to Bloomberg TV via RealPlayer 8.0 or a MP3 file from my own converted CDs. I use cable as my web connection, if you are wondering, and I can't wait for fiber to the home. Now if you think that I'm not a normal user, you are mistaken. I know many others who do the same and also use apps in the background to play their MP3 files, or run a simulation, or their weekly spreadsheet reports from the web, etc.. etc.. etc... all running at the same time. The world has changed from just running a single DOS or windows app. Running more than one app is exactly what most people are doing. And these apps are bandwidth hogs. And as more killer apps are coming, the worse it will get (for example, I'd love to be able to do all of the above and use a voice recognition interface to do it with). That is exactly what I'm planing to do with my new Pentium 4 and dual channel RDRAM once they are released in October.
