Scumbria, <as my "friend" Paul DeMone points out, real world DRDRAM controllers only keep 4 banks open, to avoid burning up the chip.> No doubt there are issues with RDRAM power management. There's no question that power juggling hurts RDRAM performance more than necessary. Perhaps Intel and Rambus are actively working on this problem? (Nah, of course not.) <Pure Rambus FUD. A video refresh to DDR will achieve very close to maximum theoretical bandwidth. A bit-blit to DDR will also achieve maximum bandwidth. Preloading a block of contiguous data will similarly achieve peak bandwidth.> Funny how the anti-Rambus coalition dismissed those very benchmarks which exercise maximum theoretical bandwidths and painted RDRAM in a positive light. Funny how those same tasks become important all-of-a-sudden with the "un-Rambus." Tenchusatsu
