<<I am not an expert about DDR, and can not evaluate the engineering difficulties associated with ramping it up. If DDR really does suffer from serious electrical problems (as has been claimed on this thread), that will certainly make DRDRAM a lot more attractive.>> <<Comments made by longs on this thread led me to recommend at my staff meeting last week that we double check our SDRAM interface, in case DDR DIMMS are not available or stable.>> You are not an expert on DDR. Yet you keep on espousing its merits. Yet at staff meetings you need to double check DDR DIMS if they are not available or stable. Scumbria 1) what staff meetings are those 2) Who do you work for 3) I would hope if you are indeed holding staff meetings that you you better informed about any problems with DDR 4) You seem to be worried that "DDR may not be Stable" this in your own words 5) What pray tell would you need to double check about your SDRAM interface - Interface to what? Please addresss those questions for me.

Scumbria, OT comments like the taxation of petrol in the UK has not risen under Tony Blair really don't help your cause. I heard that comment repeatedly on BBC news while stuck in my hotel in the UK last week. (I didn't have enough in my tank to risk driving to the pub.) It was stated several times that the high petrol taxes were instituted under the tories. It is very true that the Tories initiated a policy of regularly increasing fuel duty. However, Labour continued this policy with enthusiasm and at a higher rate of increase than the Tories. The links I posted to several recent finance acts confirm the increases under Labour. John
