dmf, Are you saying that bandwidth, even in the future, is just no longer a consideration or problem? The number of applications that are bandwidth hungry is limited, and for those, it may be good idea to get dual channel Rambus or single or dual channel DDR. There will also be some increases in bandwidth from the current designs - for example, DDR in the graphics cards are up to 200/400 MHz DDR vs. 133/266 MHz AMD just introduced for main memory. After that, there is DDR-II, which I believe is quad pumped. After that, there is some consortium of companies that includes Intel (but not Rambus - so that they don't steal and patent stuff) that is working of future generations of memory. But longer term, we will see embedded DRAM, which basically has unlimited bandwidth - you can make the path as wide as you want. Joe
