Steve, RE:"From public sources I have come to the conclusion that PS2 will not use RDRAM. I believe it will use QRSL. This is based on comments from engineers that have seen (and publicly commented on) full scope plots of QRSL signalling and concluded that it is ideal for applications where memory is soldered in place i.e. short channels - such as is possible with games consoles and other specialised devices that require high bandwidth and low cost." --- Why aren't you being challenged on this? This HAS to be a lie! <G> Actually, in the next few years I'd expect some kind of embedded memory to be used in the gaming processor. The chips will be large, maybe even 100 million transistors but this will be manageable on .10u processes. Also, I expect the next iteration of Playstation to more so address the PC as well. I think this is enevitable now that X-box has moved into the fray. I hope Sony remembers the thing still has to play games. Jim
