Bilow, But it has to do with the validity of the numbers. Sometimes you have to take things at face value. But right now that face value has been questioned. Why did VIA drop the Samurai after testing it even though they originally said they were going to use it? Why did Micron kill the Samurai? Why it was never a production system? Why benchmarks from other DDR chipsets show much more poor results than the Samurai? What is Micron hiding if any by killing the Samurai and never releasing a production system? These are questions that we may never get the answers to but the questions are there. This is why I will never accept any benchmarks that are not done on a production system. Cause with a production system the company's butt is on the line. Here we see that Micron was unwilling for what ever reason to put their butt on the line. And that has me questioning their motives and their engineering.

Bilow, you should post this on the MU thread as well. Everything MU does seems odd or out and out foolish. This too is why their stock is down. You may post my reply as well if you wish.

<<There are a couple dozen DDR chipsets in development, unless the laws of statistics and engineering design are completely violated, many of them will not see the light of day. But it is also now inevitable that some of them are going to go into production.>> How many of those that make it into production will be comapable with one another? I think you are stepping into the very heart of the problem behind the DDR delays. Very easy when ther is a single published standard. RDRAM. All this money lost trying to get something there was no need for in the fisrt place FOR WHICH HIGHER ROYALTIES WILL BE PAID ANYWAY! LOL
