Scumbria, This news will come as a great disappointment to the hundreds of design teams building DDR based systems. I'm sure they are already disappointed having missed one deadline after another. In fact I wonder who's going to pay for the "hundreds of design teams" R&D bill? They have yet to show a product that will. Maybe they have too much free time in their hands waiting for DDR sticks to stabilize first ;-) If I was one of those engineers, I would be too ashamed to say what I have been working for so long and still don't have a product out. There is nothing to be happy about. And I'll repeat it one more time. Considering that bashers here have been saying that DDR was an easy design, an evolution from SDRAM, I'm just wondering "who's going to pay for all the R&D costs that have ballooned". These are no longer small. This has taken a lot longer than anyone first thought and a lot of extra work, from everyone. Who's going to pay for all that? How are they going to recover all these costs especially since they still don't have a product (which means even still more R&D costs ahead)?
