Dan, <You have to remember to treat the channels as 18 bits wide to take into account the ECC bits needed to correct for the inevitable RDRAM data corruption.> Nice try. ECC isn't a requirement for RDRAM. In fact, I'll bet that right now, non-ECC RDRAM on a VC820 motherboard is more stable than non-ECC DDR on a Via DDR chipset. Tenchusatsu

Dan3, I use a RDRAM PC with non-ECC memory that runs 24x7 without a hint of trouble. Which is more than I can say for the GXi SDRAM PC next to it that I bought a 128Mb ECC stick from Crucial, that after 2 months of on and off use is now giving errors that even the ECC can't correct. For all the Micron this and Micron that from you Micron lovers, I'm convinced that Micron doesn't have a clue how to make good memory and I will never buy a memory stick from them again. Their DDR stick incompatibilities again prove exactly that. They like to say that they are the last US fab. Who cares. With product like that, I wouldn't buy it if I was a citizen of Bora bora and that was their last factory. Sometimes you have to put them out of their misery.
