Scumbria, <They are fixing the problem, by making a 4-bank DRDRAM which will have exactly the same page hit rate as SDRAM>

Uh, that's wrong. RDRAM is different from SDRAM. When you have multiple RDRAM devices on one RIMM, you multiply the number of banks by the number of devices. In other words, a 128MB RIMM consisting of four 256 Mbit devices will have 16 banks (using the new RDRAM technology). This is four times the amount of an SDRAM DIMM, whose number of banks doesn't change no matter how many devices the DIMM holds.

I thought you were a technical person? Cause it surprises me that you don't know that RDRAM banks are additive from all parts where SDRAM you are always talking 4 banks. So in the case of 4i RDRAM, on a 8 part 128MB RIMM, you are still talking 32 banks vs. 4 for SDRAM.
