Ten,

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.

So what has changed? Old RIMMS have 16 banks. New RIMMS have 16 banks. Memory controllers only keep 4 banks open.

Something doesn't add up here.
