Scumbria,
preparation for a launch

Looking at AMD, Micron and Infineon stock price, looks like they are buying them for a deep sea dive instead. LOLs. DDR is dead dead dead. And from the looks of their price, so is Micron and Infineon. For AMD, we'll see after tonight, but currently is in life support.

"What possible reason is there to do otherwise? PC2100 is faster than the Athlon bus, and much faster than the P3 bus."

This is my point. You bashed RDRAM for having too much bandwidth and said it was ahead of its time. That is partly true for the P3. Doesn't the same now apply to DDR? Difference is, RDRAM scales to multi channel on a motherboard easier than DDR, which is why we saw dual channel RDRAM over a year before even single channel DDR. I am not surprised you didn't see any dual channel DDR, despite being at a vapourware "show".

Regarding OEMS buying DDR DIMMS in prep. for a launch. The answer is no, because the DIMMS available are not validated. So who is buying them? Or are they just for "show", like the motherboards?
