Post - Has Rambus Won the Game? Interesting Post from the Motley Fool: With prices for PC motherboards built with Rambus memory chips finally falling below those built with a competing technology, a Fool on the company's board declares the game officially over and Rambus the winner. Can it be that simple? Here's the post: Artie got me into looking into pricing again. I've been checking the RAM Price Index everyday, but have been slacking on Pricewatch. But here it is, read it and weep! gogocity.com In Stock, a Intel VC820 motherboard with 128MB PC800 RDRAM for $312.95 and free shipping. Well it's been all over the press that DDR motherboards WHEN AVAILABLE will be roughly $200 for the board. The memory PC1600 DDR will cost somewhere around $150 per stick. Add it up guys, RDRAM-system $312.95. DDR-system at roughly $350! RDRAM IS CHEAPER NOW and DDR isn't even available yet! THE GAME IS OFFICIALLY OVER! RDRAM has defeated DDR SDRAM. Forget about performance, an RDRAM system is LESS EXPENSIVE than a DDR system. Yes, processors are not included in this comparision, and AMD fans can say that the processors are cheaper which will make WHOLE system cost more competitive, but I'm just looking at the subsystems. Motherboard and RAM. Can we please get some quotes from Bert, Jack, and Sherry?!?! First, 6x, then 3x, then 2x, now... I think you know what. Put the baby to bed, this one is over! Just waitin' for the market to realize what's goin on in the BUS Station. Best Regards, the-breadman Thanks to hjekel on the RB RMBSLONG thread for this...jj ragingbull.altavista.com

Greg, Do you think the board of directors will take the plane away from him? >g< To a more serious question and my thoughts, how do you think the market as a whole will react tomorrow? I think it will open down and will come back very strong, that is for the market as a whole not APPL! After INTC crashed the market in the morning it game back strong and I would think INTC would have a bigger impact on the whole market as what APPL would have. In Globex trading after INTC warned the NAZQ100 was down the limit of 92 points and the S&P was down about 2000 points, where as right now the NAZQ100 is only down 40 points and the S&P is only down about 600 points! But then the market may act totally different than the INTC news and may make it drop more tomorrow than on the day INTC opened much lower! Now I have my self covered if my come back does not happened! Hank
