"It is a very elegant engineering design which achieves what it claims." This is where we drastically differ in opinions. I think the RIMM is the dumbest idea ever implemented. The only reason it barely works is the hard-learned workarounds (trace thinning, thorough impedance control, software protocols, heat spreaders, power management, etc.) designed mostly by HP, Tektronix, and Intel engineers over the 5 years of Rambus bring-up. "No, I don't suggest it is perfect." Oh yes you do (just nit picking as you prefer): You wrote: "..in a Rambus system it is perfectly possible to match impedances.." "I will leave others to judge who is trying to mislead." Perfect idea. Time will tell.
