Sylvester, Intel is indeed going with DDR for servers, including servers which use Foster (Pentium 4 Xeon). However, Foster isn't exclusively for the server market. There will be Foster workstations based on the 860 Colusa chipset using dual-channel RDRAM. There may be some overlap between the Colusa platform and the DDR server platforms. In other words, anyone can build a nice server using Foster, Colusa, and RDRAM. But Intel isn't targeting the server market with Colusa. By the way, most servers will employ DDR-200 initially (as opposed to DDR-266), even though it's lower performance than RDRAM-800. The reason is probably because DDR-200 will cost less, will be available in greater volumes, and the performance is good enough. Tenchusatsu
